  • Engaging poll options include:
    • Competition
    • Clickable image
    • Word cloud
    • Multiple choice
  • Displaying scientific and mathematic equations as a poll question
  • Embedding websites or videos into your PowerPoint presentation
  • Sharing polls with colleagues or departments (Request a team)
