In this article, I will tell you how to add polls in PowerPoint presentations. To do that, I’m going to use a plug-in for MS PowerPoint called SlideLizard. This plug-in packs lots of features to make PowerPoint presentations interactive and stylish. It offers several options for live audience interaction including polls, Q&A, and audience feedback.

This plug-in works online and generates a link to your presentation on SlideLizard website. This allows you to host the presentation online and invite participants via the link. You can add interactive questions to the presentation and gather the audience feedback within the presentation. Do note that, this plug-in does need an active internet connection to work.

Adding Polls

Adding polls is very simple with SlideLizard. The Polls section gives you two options, create a new poll, and create from template. You can use any of these options as per your convenience. In the poll, you can add Yes/No QuestionsMultiple Choice Questions, and ask feedback. You can also choose a chart type to visualize the poll input. This way, you can add polls and finish the presentation from the SlideLizard.

After that, you can close the SlideLizard window and come back to PowerPoint. Now, starting the presentation gives you two options:

  • Start with SlideLizard: Starts your slide with live interaction and polls. It also starts the live presentation on the sharing URL.
  • Start without SlideLizard: Starts the presentation normally in default PowerPoint mode without any polls and interaction.
