Updated view when adding ‘content’ to polls:
When navigating to the ‘add content’ area, you can see all available polling and non-polling display content that is available to use in one place, which can be viewed in a screenshot below.
Non-Polling ‘Presentation Content’ Now Available
This exciting new feature expands on the capabilities within Present View. It is now possible to add non-polling display content directly into your sessions. This includes: text, images, animated GIFs or YouTube videos.
This new functionality can improve the flow of your presentations. The ‘Presentation Content’ is shared not only in your Present View screen but on every participant’s device too. Note: Any YouTube Video/Audio does not show on participants’ devices.
Vevox have released this incredibly useful function and will continue to develop its functionality.
Updated Present View
Within the Present View of the Vevox Dashboard, you can now resize fonts without affecting the rest of the display.
You can also display joining instructions, images and QR codes more clearly, with more control over what you display and when.
Polls using images now make better use of space and improve image clarity with a more balanced screen split.
Team Quizzes and Polling improvement in PowerPoint
There have also been some updates to the PowerPoint add-in. Team leaderboards are now available in PowerPoint, as well as an increased range on numeric polls. Or numeric polls you can now have questions with a range larger than 100 or using decimals.
