Features
Live polls, quizzes and clouds
Polls, quizzes, word clouds and open-ended questions run live in the room or online, and each answer appears on the host screen as it arrives.
Three engagement modes
One account covers three modes: Menti Live for sessions, Menti Form for surveys and Menti Pulse for recurring check-ins that track team signals over time.
Prompt-based deck building
A prompt-based generator builds an interactive presentation from a written description, which can then be adjusted with templates, custom colors and quick layouts.
No-login audience access
Joining a live Menti takes only an entry code, and the presentation works on any device without a login.
Templates and flexible setup
A template library provides ready-made interactive decks, and the same presentation runs in the room, remotely, or both at once.
What users say
Pros
- Answers come in from audience phones, so polls still work in lecture halls with weak wifi.
- Word cloud and quiz rounds pull the room in, with each answer appearing on screen as it arrives.
- Mentimeter slides embed inside a PowerPoint file, so an internal conference talk runs from one deck.
- Quick feedback polls take almost no setup on either side of the screen.
Cons
- Live sessions lose connections or fail outright, stalling an event while the room waits.
- The PowerPoint plug-in does not work, and an embedded Mentimeter slide sits larger than the slide underneath.
- Large events with multiple speakers spawn a pile of separate logins that are hard to track down.
- The free plan is capped at 50 participants a month, which a mid-sized course passes quickly.
