If you're a Classroom Plan subscriber or higher, you can your own upload images and videos (in the form of animated GIFs) to your questions. The uploaded image will display alongside the question on every participant's Participant View and also on the Presentation View.
By uploading your own images in a Trivia Game, you can ask your players questions like, "What month was this person named Employee of the Month?" or "Which sibling is this at three years old?" In a Poll, you can use an image that displays the different answer options that participants can vote on. For example, you could show an image collage of every contestant or item in a contest.
Additionally, you may also use this function to upload additional sponsor logos or images to your Experiences for other purposes.
Uploading Your Own Image
To upload a Question Image, go to the Experience Dashboard, then the blue Questions tab, and select the question tab of the question you want to add an image to. (i.e. Question 1, Question 2, etc.)
Next, head over to the Question Media section located to the right of the answer section and locate the Upload Image button with a camera icon.

Choosing and Cropping an Uploaded Image
Either drag an image or click to choose an image within the upload area. Once you click on the camera icon, select the Upload tab located at the top of the blue module. By default, clicking on the Upload tab will automatically prompt you to select an image file from your computer. Alternatively, you can manually click on the purple Choose Image tab to select an image from your computer.
Uploaded images should ideally be a square 500x500 JPEG, PNG, or GIF less than 5MB. GIFs may be animated in order to upload short videos like scenes from movies or funny memes, etc.
After uploading, you may choose to crop the image. These images will be shown in a 1:1 square aspect ratio. So the more square your image is and/or the more square you crop it, the more accurate it will display on the Presentation View and Participant View. Click on the green Save Image button to save and upload your question image after optionally cropping it.
Viewing Your Question Image on the Presentation View
Once you've successfully uploaded your image, it will display on the Presentation View whenever its associated question is displayed. Uploaded images are displayed next to the various answer options for your entire crowd to see.

Viewing Your Uploaded Image on the Participant View
Your image will also be shown on every participant's mobile device on the Participant View of your Poll or Trivia Game. In case you're not using the Presentation View, your participants will still see the uploaded image on their devices, and will display above the question text.

Removing a Question Image
If you wish to adjust, change your uploaded image, or wish to no longer use a Question Image, simply remove it from the Questions tab by clicking on the red Remove Question Media button with a trash icon next to the uploaded image in the Question Media area.
Uploading Animated GIFs as Videos
Looping animated GIF files may be uploaded to questions, too. This allows a variety of animated memes and short videos to be used for questions so you may ask a question like, "From which famous 80's movie is this scene?" and you can upload an animated GIF like this:
And the correct answer would be Back to the Future. Animated GIFs will animate in a loop on both the Presentation View and the Participant View.
Animated GIFs do not have audio; however, you can add YouTube videos to add sound and video to your questions. Additionally, you may not crop your animated GIFs. They will be displayed in their native aspect ratio.
Using Question Images to Upload Sponsor Logos or Additional Images
Because Question Images are added to both the Presentation View and Participant View, some clients have used this space to add additional images to their Experience that feature additional sponsor logo(s) and/or information for their audience. Here are some examples:
If you're using Question Images to add the same graphic to every question (e.g. sponsor logo(s), some message, etc.), you don't have to repeatedly upload the same image to every question. Simply clone the question, which will in turn clone all of the question's attributes including the question image. This allows you to build your first question with all the desired answer colors and Question Images.
To do so, click the Clone button located within the question's Edit Panel to clone the question versus repeatedly uploading the same question image.
