Launching the Poll Projector View

The Projector View for your Poll is a centralized display that your entire crowd sees at your event. The Projector View automatically shows all the details of your Poll like the active question, the available answers, the live answer results, and also displays the instructions and URL for how your crowd accesses your Poll on their mobile devices.

Your crowd uses the Projector View to "follow along" while using their mobile device to vote.

Do I Have To Use the Projector View?

No, your Poll will still work even if you choose not to use the Projector View. All the information that is needed for your audience to vote is on the Mobile View on their mobile devices such as questions, answers, etc. However, the Projector View also shows each question and the real-time answer results in a large-format presentation-view (similar to Keynote or PowerPoint), which is beneficial for your audience to follow on one centralized screen.

Launch the Projector View

To open the Projector View click on the large purple Projector View button under the Control Center heading on the Experience Dashboard. The Projector View will open in a new browser tab. This browser tab can be detached and then dragged to the projector desktop of your computer.

Set the Projector View to Full-Screen Mode

After opening the Projector View in a new browser tab, you'll detach the browser tab and move it to an Extended Desktop area on your computer that is connected to a projector, HDTV, or other display source. These are often connected to your computer's external display ports via HDMI, DVI, VGA, etc.

Once the external device is displaying the Projector View's browser tab, click the Full Screen button in the lower-right-hand corner of the Projector View. This will put the Projector View into the full-screen presentation mode. You should do this bit of setup before your audience arrives at your event.

Your audience can now see the URL, code, and instructions for joining your Poll. Once they've joined, they can now use the Projector View to follow along with your Poll. The Projector View will show appropriate messages based on if your Poll is in the Ready state, the Live state, or the Finished state. It also shows the Active Question and Live Answer Results (A).

Next Steps

Now that you know how to open the Mobile View and launch the Projector View, we're ready to actually run and test your Poll!  This is the fun part! Go to Running Your Poll.
