    With Poll Everywhere for Windows, you can insert screenshots of activities directly into your PowerPoint presentations. This feature is especially useful for:

    • Including audience responses from previous sessions
    • Sharing your deck (with audience responses) with others

    Whether it's simple activities like Multiple choice and Word cloud to Surveys or even Competitions, a few clicks will get you up and running.

    The following steps will walk you through how to insert an activity screenshot into your presentation.

    Screenshot slides appear a bit different than activity slides. Unlike activity slides, screenshot slides do not include: Blue corner markers and the links in the notes section (only the activity title is included)

    Helpful tip: Screenshots can also be downloaded directly from the Poll Everywhere website. For detailed instructions, refer to our Download a screenshot

    • Surveys: If responses exist, the screenshot will display participants’ progress through the survey at the time the screenshot was taken. Without responses (If there are no responses to the Survey), it will show the survey title and instructions to respond.
