This can also be done from the poll menu, which additionally allows you to adjust visual settings, show responses, lock the activity, clear responses, and present in full screen mode.

To end your activity, select Lock from the poll menu. This will prevent users from responding to the activity; however, they will still be able to view it on the presenter page. In order to remove the activity from your My Polls page, select Deactivate.

For presentation ideas, see best practices for presenting your polls.

3. The easiest way to display activities is through the web application. However, activities may also be displayed by embedding them in a PowerPoint – to do this, you must first install the PollEv Presenter App. More information can be found on Poll Everywhere’s Getting Started.
