These settings are managed from the Account Settings page in Poll Everywhere, typically accessible by account owners or admins. They influence all activities under the account, not just a single presenter or user.
1. Only allow registered participants to participate
- What it does: Restricts all activities on the account to only allow responses from registered participants.
- Effect: Disables the “Everyone” option in activity response settings.
- Use case: Ideal for schools, enterprises, or organizations that need authenticated participation (e.g., for grading, tracking, or compliance).
2. Allow participant self-registration
- What it does: Permits participants to create their own Poll Everywhere account to respond to activities if they aren’t already registered.
- Effect: Reduces admin overhead of having to pre-register users manually.
- Use case: Useful when you want secure participation but still want open access for new users.
3. Allow presenters to email results from Poll Everywhere
- What it does: Enables presenters and account admins to send activity response screenshots directly from the platform.
- Effect: Makes it easier to share quick snapshots of poll results via email.
- Use case: Handy for debriefs, reports, or sharing highlights after a session.
4. Do not allow participants to request results after they reply
- What it does: Prevents participants from accessing poll results from pollev.com after responding.
- Effect: Keeps results confidential; participants will not receive a copy of the responses.
- Use case: Ideal for sensitive surveys, assessments, or feedback where privacy is paramount.
5. Show phone numbers when viewing results and participants
- What it does: Displays the phone numbers of participants who responded via SMS when viewing poll results.
- Effect: Adds a layer of traceability but may raise privacy concerns.
- Use case: Helpful when verifying individual participation or when managing phone-based access.
6. Invite imported participants to reset their passwords
- What it does: Sends an automatic email prompting imported participants to create or reset their Poll Everywhere password.
- Effect: Streamlines onboarding and encourages account setup.
- Use case: Enable smoother bulk imports unless you prefer to manually manage communications.
7. Allow presenters to use AI features
- What it does: Grants access to AI-powered tools like AI-generated poll creation.
- Effect: Empowers presenters to quickly create engaging content using artificial intelligence.
-
Use case: Great for speeding up poll creation and enhancing creativity, particularly in educational or brainstorming settings.
