Running a Slide Show
Use the PowerPointTurningPoint Slide Show functionality to run the polling presentation.
Before You Begin
To poll in PowerPoint, a presentation with polling slides or a question list is required. To track results based on participants, a participant list is also required.
- Plug in the receiver if using ResponseCards.
- Open TurningPoint and sign in to your account
- Establish a TurningPoint app connection if applicable.
- Select a participant list and a question list, or a PowerPoint presentation, if applicable.
- Click PowerPoint Polling.
The TurningPoint Dashboard closes and PowerPoint opens.
NOTEIf using a question list, TurningPoint will automatically parse the content into polling slides. This may take a few moments if there are a large number of questions in the question list.
- Open the PowerPoint presentation that contains the question slides if a question list has not been chosen.
- Start the Slide Show.
TIP
Click
from the TurningPoint toolbar and select Session prior to running the slide show.
- Advance the slide to open/close polling depending on the Polling Options selected during content creation.
Press the spacebar, enter/return key or down arrow to advance the slide. If using a mouse, a mouse click also advances the slide. Alternatively, a PresenterCard may be used to advance slides and control polling. For more information on PresenterCard,
- Continue until the Slide Show is finished.
