What poll types can I use via the PowerPoint Add-in with a free account?
The same polling type is available i.e. MultiChoice and Latex notation polls. If the PowerPoint Add-in is not logged in/connected to your dashboard, you will be able to create the other questions types however, you will not be able to use them. Trying to create or run unlicensed poll types will trigger an onscreen warning.
