- With both the new Office 365 Add-in and Present view, all polls and quizzes need to be set up in the Vevox dashboard. When using the Office 365 Add-in, there is a quick extra step to add the polls to your PowerPoint presentation.
- Present view is optimized to offer all the different Vevox polling types. The Office 365 Add-in supports only the multichoice, word cloud, ranking, star rating, numeric, pin on image and open text polling types.
- PowerPoint combines asking the participants polls as well as sharing all your other slide information without having to switch screens.
- Present view offers a dynamic display - showing all the results as they come in, whereas PowerPoint will show each poll result after the poll has been closed.
- Only the original PowerPoint Add-in offers analysis slides that can compare polls and total a series of poll results as well.
