What ParticiPoll is
ParticiPoll adds live audience polling to existing PowerPoint slides. It supports multiple-choice polls, upvotes, word clouds, and audience questions or comments. Participants vote from phones, tablets, or notebooks through a web browser, without installing an app or using clickers. Presenters can customize the voting page with a logo, address, background, and buttons, and select from nine languages. A dashboard stores historical poll results and audience comments, while comments and data can be exported as CSV. A presentation may contain any number of polls, with each poll on its own slide. Windows and Mac add-ins support the listed Microsoft Office versions. On Mac, incoming vote counts are not shown live, although results and other features work normally. Plans include a seven-day trial, Individual at $199 a year, Team at $799 a year, Company at $1,999 a year, Enterprise at $4,999 a year, and a Single Event option at $109, paid once.

Verdict
ParticiPoll adds several audience-response formats and browser voting to PowerPoint, with dashboards and exports for follow-up. Mac users should account for the missing live vote counter, and all users need a paid plan after the trial.
