Frequently Asked Questions

Expand the sections below to get answers to common questions.

Does a presenter have to be physically located at the place they want to set for attendance tracking?

No. Presenters can choose any location on a map without needing to be physically present at that location.

Is there a limit to how many locations can be created?

Yes. Presenters can create up to 10 locations to track in-person attendance.

Will presenters need to create a new location for each new activity where they want to track in-person attendance?

No. Once Attendance Management is enabled, all your saved locations will be active for all of your polls and activities.

Can a participant still join a presentation and respond to activities if they do not check-in and verify their location?

Yes. Location check-in is not required for participants to respond to activities, but they will receive a 0% attendance score if Attendance Management is enabled and they participate in an activity without checking in.

Does Poll Everywhere store or share a participant’s or presenter’s location?

No. We never store or share any location data. We do, however, show participants their own latitude and longitude for troubleshooting purposes. This location data is only stored on participants’ own devices.
