New Feature: Many Answers, One Text

New Poll Everywhere features

Sometimes a good question deserves more than one response. If that’s the case in your next multiple choice poll, good news! With new multi-response texting, it’s easier than ever to give your participants plenty of wiggle room.

Note: You’ll need to enable Simple Keywords in the Labs Section to use A,B,C voting options.

In the past, you would set the response limit for each participant, say, four answers each. And then audience members would have to text in one simple keyword at a time– first ‘A’, send. Then ‘B’, send. Then ‘C’… until they had chosen as many options as they liked.

Now your participants can send all their answers in one text, like this: “A, B, C”, send.

Simple keywords are magical.

For example, maybe you want to blame both the drought and Don Mattingly for the Dodgers’ awfulness. As long as the poll creator allows you to choose more than one answer, you can do that by texting “A, E”.

The Dodgers are less magical.

There you go. You send one text, with all the answers you want (or all you’re allowed to send), and you’re done. Now your responses are live on the chart. And Don Mattingly is totally guilty.
