Sometimes your audience doesn’t quite get which code to put in front of their message.

Or perhaps you want a dramatic unveiling of the responses. You want to show the poll question, but not the results until they’re all in. (You love that gasp from your audience when you switch from the poll question to a beautiful word cloud. Gets ya every time.)

Graphical instructions for open-response polls is for you.

It makes voting nearly foolproof – at least for anyone who’s used a mobile phone at least once before in their lives. And as an added bonus for educators or the drama-craving presenter, it lets you show the questions and then only later reveal the responses. We’ve heard this is pretty great.

To display picture instructions, just hover over the top right of your open response poll and select “Hide results, Show Instructions.”
