Mac fans, create Poll Slides in PowerPoint or Keynote

Now your experience on the Mac is just like on the web, or even on Windows. No more magic black bar, just a familiar PollEv Presenter Add-in menu you can use to…

  • Create new polls in PowerPoint or Keynote
  • Insert polls in your deck as Poll Slides
  • Edit polls within the slide
  • Present polls seamlessly (with 2x faster loading) in PowerPoint and Keynote

More updates for Mac users

  • Plays nicely with video conferencing software like Skype, GoToMeeting, or even HipChat
  • Polls appear 2 to 4x faster in Keynote & PowerPoint
  • Fixed poll sizing and placement in vertical, multi-monitor configuration (Some of you care about this a lot more than others)
  • Now supports PowerPoint 2016
  • Unified experience between website and add-in (less to learn!)
  • Supports aspect ratios 4:3 and 16:9

For example, you’ll now see a small Poll Everywhere icon in your top-right menu bar when the add-in is running. It will be black (or white if you have a dark theme) when you’re logged in, and grey when you’re logged out. That way you won’t have to wonder whether you need to log back in when it’s five minutes to show-time.
