Poll Everywhere for students
Quick guide for students to access Poll Everywhere and respond to polls
Access a poll or activity
Students can use a laptop, mobile device or app to respond to polls and have three options to access activities, as provided by the presenter:
- Click on a Poll Everywhere link in your LMS subject (if applicable)
- Enter the presenter's unique Poll Everywhere URL into any browser, e.g. PollEv.com/testpresenter
- Use the Poll Everywhere app and join a presentation by entering the presenter's username e.g. testpresenter
More information is available in the Poll Everywhere student guide: Responding to questions.
Register your Poll Everywhere account
Depending on how the activity has been created, you may be required to register an account in Poll Everywhere before responding to a poll or activity. It is important that you use your University student email address when prompted to login to Poll Everywhere.
Students are not required to pay for a Poll Everywhere account to respond to activities using a UoM email address.
Poll Everywhere smartphone apps
In addition to accessing a unique PollEv URL in any web browser, students can use a Poll Everywhere app on smartphones and tablets to respond to polls.
Download the Poll Everywhere app from your device's app store or marketplace.
