Mentimeter
Live polls, word clouds, quizzes, and Q&A inside a presentation.
What it is
Mentimeter is interactive presentation software: participants join from a phone to answer live polls, word clouds, quizzes, scales, and Q&A. Results appear during the session so a facilitator can see the room before moving on.
Ways to use it
Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.
- Run a live priority vote during a leadership workshop.
- Collect questions from an all-hands audience before the Q and A.
- Check understanding during training before advancing.
- Surface the room's view before a difficult decision discussion.
- Gather anonymous feedback at the end of an offsite or town hall.
Our take
Useful when a facilitator needs structured audience input in real time. It adds little when a simple show of hands or a standard survey after the meeting would answer the same question.
