Mentimeter is an audience engagement platform that makes it easy for users to build presentations and collect polls, data, and opinions. Presentations can be supplemented with questions, surveys, quizzes, images, and GIFs.
Mentimeter is a simple and intuitive tool that can be used in both remote and onsite user meetings. It allows users to receive immediate feedback on their questions. Users answer questions using their computers or smartphones, where they open a designated page and enter an access code received from the questioner.
Presentations, quizzes and word clouds created with Minimeter are interactive and participants’ reactions and their answers are displayed in real time, regardless of the poll type (remote, hybrid, face-to-face). Opinions are collected based on a survey in which multiple choice, scale-based, image-based, rated, or open-ended questions can be used. In the free version only a limited number of questions can be asked. However, even this version is very useful for simple polls.
