How to respond to Poll Everywhere activities

There are two main ways of responding to Poll Everywhere activities:

  1. Through a browser
  2. Through the Poll Everywhere mobile app

Responding using a browser

Your lecturer or presenter will typically show you instructions for responding to Poll Everywhere activities. This usually contains a slide or page that contains a QR code that you can scan using the camera app on your mobile phone. Equally a short url will also be displayed that you can type into your browser if you prefer.

You can use a browser either on your mobile phone, or on your laptop.

Responding using the mobile app

If you know your lecturer uses Poll Everywhere on a regular basis, you may want to download the mobile app. This is available for both Apple and Android devices.

Just head to your phone’s app store and search Poll Everywhere to find and install the app.

As a student you do not need to create an account. Typically you’d respond to polls anonymously.
