Choosing Between Present View and the PowerPoint Office 365 Add-in
When deciding whether to use Present view or the PowerPoint Add-in for your polls, consider the following:
- Compatibility: The Office 365 Add-in is designed to work on both Mac and Windows devices.
- Poll Setup: In Present view, polls must be created in the Vevox dashboard. With the PowerPoint Add-in, you can create polls either in the Vevox dashboard or directly in the PowerPoint side panel. Once created, polls can be added to your slides with a simple step.
- Poll Types: The add-in supports all the poll types available in Present view, including multichoice, word cloud, ranking, star rating, numeric, pin on image, Latex, XY Plot and open text polling types. However, demographic segmentation and before-and-after comparisons are not available in PowerPoint.
- Additional information: PowerPoint lets you present your polls alongside your other slides without switching screens, streamlining your presentation flow.
- Dynamic Displays: Both Present view and the PowerPoint Add-in can offer dynamic display poll results as they come in or after the poll closes.
Additional Features
- Countdown Timers: Both options include countdown timers for polls to build excitement. However, the countdown music is not available in PowerPoint.
- Quiz Leaderboards: Both platforms offer leaderboards with “fastest finger” scoring for quizzes.
- Presenter Tools: The Office 365 Add-in is compatible with PowerPoint’s Presenter View, allowing you to access upcoming slides, presenter notes, and other tools during your presentation.
