Collaborative poll creation w/Slack app?

 

I thought I found the answer in PollEverywhere, but then I got stuck again. Hoping that your brilliance and experience will help my stuck-itude.

I am looking for a polling app that allows multiple collaborators (~10) to?create?and manage a set of polls and access [centralized] results - without having to buy a separate and expensive license for each collaborator. I don't want to be the bottleneck for creating, launching, and monitoring polls during our hybrid/sync+async event.

Other criteria for the polling app that I can find in other polling apps, but without?sufficient collaboration options:
  • price: is free or reasonably priced for a single event (or 1 month)
  • Slack: can integrate with Slack through a Slack app, so Slackers can respond within the Slack space (not through a link to a browser or other app)
  • Results: provides the option to share results, ideally in the form of graphs, with participants
  • Question type: has at least multiple choice, open response, Q&A, and word cloud question types
  • Link or QR: allows the sharing of one question at a time (versus entire survey) through a link and/or QR code that
Help?

Cheers,
Sarah

I think these options would work for people connecting to the meeting on their personal devices, as they could simply click on the link, say, in the chat.? It would be trickier for those connecting to the videoconference from the same room but asked to vote on their personal devices.

I could create a handful of bit.lys (, etc.) to make it easier to type in the Mentimeter, GForms, or other links, but some participants aren't very adept at typing on a smartphone, and some may have issues getting to shortened urls due to random things installed on their phones.? I could create a landing page with all the links, but I'm not sure participants will feel comfortable navigating to the right link for the right session. I'd ideally give them the exact poll they need at the exact time they need it, one by one, through a simple interface.

Mira, I like the Slido QR option... If it can work while people are sitting, socially distanced, and holding their phones up to the projected image... And Slido's event-based subscription might work for us.

Other thoughts are very welcome, and thank you!

Cheers,
Sarah

Have you investigated ? Facilitators load questions into a session. The system generates a qr code or link that participants use to enter the session on their phones (no login or password required). Participants can follow along with an on-screen session (like Zoom) and answer the poll q's on their phone.

There's an integration with Zoom but I don't remember exactly how it works. Their intro webinars are pretty good so you can check it out.

Basic accounts are free. More sophisticated paid accounts might include integrations and timing mechanisms.

If you were okay with going low-tech, Google Forms would work fine.

Or, you can set up a survey through a form on your website, and collect responses whenever they come in. Then you can brand the experience a little better. it would take a little longer than GForms, which you could do in under 10 minutes, but you're stuck with their branding.?

Just be sure to collect responses in a spreadsheet automatically, so you can review them all in one place.
