What Poller 2.0 is
Poller 2.0 adds audience-response polling to PowerPoint presentations. Presenters can identify slides containing questions in a standard numbered format, add a Poller Trigger, and start multiple-choice polls. Participants join joinp1.com with a unique meeting ID using smartphones, computers, tablets, Kindle, or other browser-based devices, without a special download. Poller can display response graphs over the PowerPoint master background or another selected background, with delayed display available for later reporting. Comparison graphs and team or individual competition support scoring with correct answers and point values. Responses are stored in the slide and can be exported to Microsoft Office Excel or HTML. Platforms listed are Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The package includes telephone, web, and email support, installation and operation instructions, and a speaker’s guide. Pricing is on request, with a free trial limited to five users. Presenter setup requires Windows XP or higher, PowerPoint 2003 or higher, administrative installation rights, internet access, and open port 3306 communication.
