What Chorus is

Chorus is a free web application for real-time audience polling in talks, workshops, and events. Guests enter a four-character token to join without creating an account or installing software. They can vote, propose answers, and watch results change as participation continues. Organizers can create or resume rooms with a conference ID or admin key, add or remove questions, edit them, reset responses, and move to the next topic. Vote and answer-submission limits are available, along with a timer that can be started, stopped, or reset. Anonymous mode hides names in the guest activity feed, and organizers decide whether participants see live vote counts and bars. Suggestions can be locked while voting remains open. Questions and responses can be downloaded as CSV. Chorus says session data is not stored permanently after a session ends, and describes the project as open source with GitHub resources.

Who it suits

Chorus suits organizers running interactive talks, workshops, or events that need browser-based participation without guest accounts. It also fits teams wanting anonymous responses and downloadable session data.

What it does well

Verdict
