Once you sign up or log in to your account, go to Events section and click "Add new Event"

Type your title and click "Proceed"

After you create your first event that you can add some questions.

There are 6 types of questions that you can use in your live event:

  • Multiple choice

  • Picture choice

  • Rating

  • Linear Scale

  • Poster

  • Project*

*Project is a special type of question that simply allows you to launch a standalone already created survey, quiz, form, or calculator during the live event.

You can create as many questions you like and the editor is almost the same as in the standalone Projects section. Switching to Design allow you to change how your event will look like. Live question design options are the same as you have in Projects.

Going into the Chat section allow you to customize how this function will look like on audience view

Besides chat design, in Configure->Design section you can provide your own header logo with header text. Use it to inform your audience how to access your Live Event, for example: “Go to yourwebsite.com/conference to interact”. You can change the tab name that will be on mobile phones and adjust the color of that tabs.

Finally to activate your live event go to the Manage section and turn on any question on the audience view list.

While your live event is activated then is time to share proper links with your participants, click on "Share" in the Audience view section

You have to options first is to use link* or embed code that you can put on your website or mobile app. The audience view is responsive so it will adjust to the device and resolution of participants. Users

*you can use a link shortening service (eg. bit.ly) or a redirection on your own domain (eg. yourwebsite.com/conference) to create a more user-friendly address.

This is how your audience view will look like on the desktop:

Of course, most of the users will use mobile phones to vote and participate in Q&A but don't worry because the audience view is responsive so it will adjust to the device and resolution of each participant.

This is how it looks on mobile:
