DirectPoll

DirectPoll is a live polling service made by Netcetera. A presenter builds a poll in the browser, shares a voting link, and shows the answers on screen while the audience votes from their own phones.

What DirectPoll offers

• Poll creation — questions can be prepared ahead of an event or written on the spot, with drag-and-drop reordering.
• Question types — single-choice and multiple-choice questions, with correct answers that can be marked.
• Live results screen — answers are charted automatically on a separate results link meant for the main screen.
• Presenter cockpit — a private control link lets the presenter move through questions, so voters cannot skip ahead.
• Access options — results can be hidden while voting, and polls can be restricted with tokens.
