The easiest way for your audience to respond to a Poll Everywhere poll is on your unique PollEv.com/username page. The audience visits your response page from any browser and responds to the activities as you activate them. Because it works with any browser, this response option is recommended for international audiences who may not have appropriate texting and long distance plans.
Generating a new username

Step 1: On the left navigation menu, click on the Profile icon. Select the Personal info to access your profile settings.
Step 2: From the Personal Info page, you can see your unique username and response page URL. Click Generate to view a list of available usernames based on your name.
Helpful tip: The first three generated usernames are based on the first and last names associated with the account, you can change your name on your account to curate the generated username options.
Step 3: Click the desired username to use. The following message displays to confirm your choice.
Custom username
On certain paid plans, you can customize your PollEv.com page from the Settings page in your Activities. In the box after ‘PollEv.com/’ type in the word you would like to use as your voting page. This word will also be your username. Many presenters choose usernames that are concise and relevant to their presentation. If it is available, it will be your username and voting page for as long as you have an account, or until you choose to change it.
Helpful tip: Your username must be between 4-15 alphanumeric characters. It is not case sensitive.
