Live poll

Fetching today's question…

This poll is live. Vote, and watch everyone else's answers arrive.

A conference hall in Nairobi: the audience watches live poll results on the screen while the presenter speaks
On the screen: answers from the room, counted as they arrive.

How it works

Three steps, and the second one is theirs.

  1. 1

    Ask

    Write a question in a minute: a poll, a word cloud, a rating, a quiz or open Q&A. Or start from a template.

  2. 2

    They answer

    People scan the code on the screen, or type the six digits, and answer on their own phones. No app, no account.

  3. 3

    The room sees itself

    Results move on the big screen the moment answers land. Everything is saved for you afterwards.

For the audience

Answering takes a tap.

Big buttons, no forms, nothing to install. A phone that loses signal picks up where it left off, and nobody is counted twice.

  • Join by camera or with a six-digit code
  • Anonymous unless they add a name
  • Works on budget Android phones and older iPhones

Six kinds of slide

Everything a room can say, on one screen.

Mix them in one presentation. Each one updates live, and each one is saved.

Word cloud

Built for real rooms

Made for the hall you actually present in.

Most halls have patchy Wi-Fi and a hundred different phones. Roomwave is built for that room, not for a showroom on fast office internet.

Light enough for slow data
The page a phone opens to answer is a fraction of the size of a typical website, so it opens quickly on a weak signal.
Survives a dropped signal
Phones reconnect by themselves and pick up the current question. An answer is never counted twice.
Gets through strict networks
Where a venue's network blocks live connections, Roomwave quietly switches to ordinary web requests.
One code for the whole hall
Up to 1,000 people in one session on the Organisation plan, all answering at once.

Who uses Roomwave

From forty people to a full conference hall.

Questions

Before you try it.

Does my audience need to install anything?

No. They open the camera, scan the code on the screen, and answer in the browser they already have. No app and no account.

What if the Wi-Fi in the hall is weak?

The page a phone loads to join is tiny, and if the connection drops it reconnects by itself without losing the answer. Where a venue's network blocks live connections, Roomwave falls back to ordinary requests automatically.

Are answers anonymous?

Yes, unless someone chooses to add their name. Quizzes give everyone a friendly nickname for the leaderboard, which they can change.

Can I keep the results?

Every answer is saved. Download a spreadsheet of any session, or on Pro a PDF report, emailed to you if you like.

How do I pay?

Free stays free. Pro starts with a 14-day trial with no card, and teams pay by invoice, by bank transfer or M-⁠Pesa paybill.
