About Mentimeter
Mentimeter builds presentations around audience participation. Slides can be live polls, word clouds, quizzes, rankings, scales or open questions, and people respond from their phones using a code, with results appearing on screen in real time and anonymously if you choose. It is widely used in classrooms, lectures, workshops, all-hands meetings and conferences, and it can import existing slides or work alongside PowerPoint, Google Slides, Teams and Zoom. An AI feature, Menti Creator, drafts interactive presentations from a prompt, and AI grouping helps sort open-ended answers. A free plan lets you try it with a monthly participant cap, while paid plans for individuals, education and teams remove limits and add features like branding and exporting results. It runs in the browser. It's not a replacement for a full slide design tool, and the participant limits on the free plan are tight for larger groups.
Best for: Teachers, facilitators and meeting hosts who want live audience input.
