How SlidePulse Works

Step 1: Create & Share

Getting started is instant. As a presenter, simply log in (or sign up) and click "Create New". Give your presentation session a name (e.g., "Weekly Team Sync", "Product Feedback").

Choose the type of interaction you want to start with:

  • Q&A: Collect questions from your audience.
  • Poll: Create a multiple-choice question for live voting.
  • Vote: Gather quick up/down votes on ideas or options.
  • Discussion: Set up topics for threaded conversations (requires audience login).

SlidePulse immediately generates a unique, shareable link and a QR code for your audience to join. You'll find these in your Presenter View.

Step 2: Audience Interaction

Your audience joins instantly by scanning the QR code or clicking the link you shared. No app downloads or account sign-ups are needed for Q&A, Polls, or Votes, ensuring zero friction.

Using their own device (phone, tablet, laptop), they can:

  • Submit Questions: Ask questions anonymously or with their name (if configured).
  • Upvote Questions: See questions from others and upvote the ones they find most relevant.
  • Vote in Polls: Select an option in active multiple-choice polls.
  • Cast Votes: Submit up or down votes on a single item.
  • Participate in Discussions: View topics, send messages, and react with emojis (requires login).

All interactions happen in real-time, keeping the audience engaged throughout your presentation.

Step 3: Live Insights & Moderation

As the presenter, you have full control via the Presenter View:

  • See Live Results: Watch poll results update instantly as votes come in. See questions appear and get upvoted in real-time. Monitor live vote counts.
  • Moderate Q&A: View incoming questions sorted by upvotes or time. Mark questions as answered to clear the queue, or delete inappropriate submissions.
  • Manage Polls: Activate/deactivate polls, add/edit options, and choose whether to show results to the audience on the Display View.
  • Manage Votes: Activate/deactivate vote sessions and see live up/down vote counts.
  • Manage Discussions: Activate/deactivate the session, add/edit/delete topics, and view/delete messages.

Optionally, use the separate Display View link on a projector or shared screen to show live poll results, sorted questions, vote counts, or active discussion topics to the entire audience.

This real-time feedback loop allows you to adapt your presentation and address audience needs on the fly.
