What it is

PollsLive is a web and API service for live polls, quizzes and Q&A, showing responses to presenters in real time. People join in a browser through a link, QR code or six-digit PIN, without downloading an app or creating an account. Question formats include multiple choice, quizzes, scales, rankings, Planning Poker, open-ended prompts, Q&A and content slides. Polls can run live or asynchronously, and published polls can be embedded with an iframe or JavaScript widget. Presenters can use it with PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Google Meet. Integrations include REST API access, OAuth 2.0, signed webhooks, Slack incoming webhooks and Zapier workflows through Webhooks by Zapier. PollsLive says its application, database and cache use EU infrastructure, with TLS and HSTS for encrypted traffic. The free plan costs nothing, billed with no card required, and includes three published polls, 500 responses per poll, three live participants, three live sessions per month and one presenter. Pro starts at $5 a month, billed monthly.
