Interactive presentation tools give an audience ways to respond while a session is underway. Poll Everywhere, StreamAlive and Socrative are among the options to compare for live polls, Q&A, quizzes, reactions and word clouds. Audience limit and presentation platform can help you judge whether a tool suits your event or session format. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing add cost considerations. Focus on the kinds of participation you want to invite, how many people may join, and which response formats will be useful to you as a presenter.
