Using the Vevox PowerPoint Add-in for the first time?
Here is a checklist with best practice tips to help you be ‘present-ready’ for your meeting.
Checklist
STEP 1: Download the PPT Add-in & Create polls
Create your polling questions in PowerPoint or in the Vevox dashboard and then add them to your PowerPoint presentation. Our video guide explains the steps here, or read the instructions here.
STEP 2: Test
Once you have created all your poll slides – Test! Test that everything is working as it should before your meeting.
Connect to the Vevox session with your PowerPoint presentation before you start polling.
Set yourself up as a participant on your phone. (Go to https://vevox.app in your phone browser and enter the relevant Meeting ID. You get the Meeting ID from the joining instructions.) Now run your polls by going into slide show mode on your PowerPoint and answer the polls (as a participant) on your phone.
We cannot recommend doing this enough as it will identify any potential issues in good time.
STEP 3: Clear results
After testing and ensuring everything is operating as expected, ‘clear results’ on all Vevox PowerPoint slides.
When you finish STEP 2- your slides will contain the test results, and they all need to be ‘cleared’ in the PowerPoint presentation before the start of your meeting. (It is also advisable to clear the Vevox dashboard from the test results.)
.
STEP 4: Go Live
Time to go live! Run your presentation in slide show mode opening your polling questions by advancing with the 'Enter' button, the spacebar or the right arrow. Always ensure you’re logged in and connected to the correct Vevox session before you enter slide show mode. (You will know when you are connected when you see the Vevox session in the task pane in PowerPoint.)
STEP 5: Save results
Congratulations. Your meeting is complete! Remember to save this PowerPoint slide deck with all the results. (As an addition, your meeting data will also be available in the Vevox Dashboard to download as result images or as an Excel spreadsheet.)
