While Apple’s Keynote presentation application has a tiny market share compared to Microsoft PowerPoint, we’ve found that many of our Poll Everywhere presenters and educators are super passionate about Apple Keynote, or just Apple/Mac in general. When we demo’ed our Mac Deskbar beta at a trade show yesterday, peoples’ ears perked up and they were in love. Here’s irony: Everyone at Poll Everywhere uses both a Mac and a PC every day, but there was never a really seamless way to use our live-data polling slides in Apple’s Keynote or PowerPoint Mac. Now there is, using the Poll Everywhere Mac Deskbar. Here’s how to download the Deskbar: when viewing your poll as either a “Live Chart” or “Live Text Wall”, click “Download Slide” and then “Keynote and PPT Mac”.

You’ll be taken to a page of instructions and this video demonstrating how to install it.

While using the Mac Deskbar, tell us about any ideas you have that would make it better.
