Mentimeter makes presentations interactive. You build slides with questions such as multiple choice polls, word clouds, rating scales, rankings, and open-ended questions, share a join code or QR code, and the audience responds from their phones. Results appear live on the screen, which turns a one-way talk into a conversation and gives quiet participants an easy way to contribute.
It suits a range of settings. Teachers use it to check understanding, trainers to energize workshops, and companies to run all-hands meetings and collect anonymous feedback. Features include quizzes with leaderboards, Q&A with upvoting, and templates, and you can import existing slides from PowerPoint or Google Slides. AI helps generate a presentation from a prompt, suggest questions, and summarize responses.
Mentimeter has a free plan with limits on questions and participants and paid plans for more features, with education and enterprise options. Success depends on good question design and a room where people have devices. Alternatives include Slido, Kahoot, Poll Everywhere, Pigeonhole Live, and built-in polls in Zoom and Teams. Mentimeter suits facilitators who want audience engagement.
