Mentimeter can be used as to support a live Q&A during any activity but is particularly useful during a live stream event where your goal is to blend in person and online question activity.
A link to the Q&A can be shared to participants and viewed on their devices. Alternately, especially if you are in a TEAL room, the Q&A could be displayed on one of the large in room display screens.
As of December 2019, the ETO has a pro license to use Mentimeter, which also enables the moderator feature. For most events, you likely would not need to enable this feature.
1. Select the Q&A Question Type from the options.
2. Support the speaker by marking the questions as answered OR by identifying a moderator who will perform this task.
- This option does not appear to those participating in the Q&A session; it only shows to the one who created the Q&A.
2.1. View of the participant interface.
- Select this option to participate by entering questions.
- Select this option to leave the Mentimeter session (if selected, participants would have to re-enter the code to use the session).
Participants can:
- View the recent questions (logged in order of submission) or the top questions (ranked by likes).
- Like a question (in order to move it to the top - the speaker can rank the questions by "top questions" in order to filter the ones that audience most wants answered).
- Type a question to be answered.
- Submit a question to be answered.
Note that if a question is submitted, it is viewable to the entire audience (even if not displayed on a screen, participants can see submissions on their devices. If you don't want this to happen, you should use the moderator option but this does require a pro account).
3. Review the questions that have been submitted.
- By expanding the question icon (in presentation mode), you can see a list of the questions that have been asked (and which ones have been marked as responded to).
