FAQ
Is the Google Slides add-on free?
Yes. It works on every Pingroom plan, including the free plan with up to 50 responders per poll.
Do attendees need anything?
No. Attendees answer from their phone or browser with the join link or the QR code on the slide. No app or account is needed.
What permissions does it ask for?
Three: to edit the presentation you have open (so it can add the poll slide), to show its sidebar, and to connect to pingroom.app (to load your polls and turn voting on). It cannot see your other files, and it does not read the rest of your slides.
Does it work while presenting?
Yes. Click "Show live results" on the poll slide to open the live results, then click Go live there or in the sidebar. The results update as people vote.
How do I remove it?
In Google Slides, open Extensions → Add-ons → Manage add-ons, click the three dots next to Pingroom and choose Uninstall. Your Pingroom account and polls are not affected.
