Mentimeter

In a world where our attention span is around 8 seconds (scientifically proven to be shorter than that of a goldfish which is 9 seconds), what happens in 2-hour-long meetings? Are we really efficient or just wasting time?

Mentimeter is designed to transform your Attendees into engaged audience members. Thanks to this platform, you can build interactive presentations, polls, and so much more in a matter of minutes, and then have them embedded in Sessions.

Before integrating resources from Mentimeter into your online session, you’ll need to have a registered account on their platform.

To find the required links for the Mentimeter files, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Share button in your Mentimeter presentation.
2. Go to Presentation and copy the Voting link.

How to embed Mentimeter during a live session (no agenda):

1. Press Ctrl + K / Command + K (iOS users) or click on the Share button (bottom left corner).
