If you have Office 365 this is the best way to get live feedback from your
audience during a presentation and the good news is you already have all the
tools to do it for free. The tool you need to use is Microsoft Forms which
comes with all versions of Office 365. Here's how you do it. Log in to your
Office 365 portal and select Forms from the menu. You may need to click on
"Explore all your apps" and scroll down until you see Forms and click on it
there, if it's not already in the menu. Once you're in the Forms menu you can
click on a new form or new quiz. It doesn't matter which one. We'll select
Quiz and add a question. We'll make it a choice and we'll call this, "How happy are
you with your job?" and it comes up with some pre-selected choices. We're going to
add all. Just fill in as many questions as you want. Add any options you want to and
you will have your form ready to go. Now the key to being able to make this live
is we're gonna go over here to the Share button and you have a choice here of
Only people in my organization or Anyone with the link can respond. I'm going to
choose anyone. The other one requires the user to log in to Office 365 from
their mobile device in order to answer your quiz. For this example we're just
going to make it available to anybody and that way it prevents them from
having to go through those steps. Then click on QR code. Now if you're not
familiar with a QR code it is a 3D barcode that can be scanned using a
photo image from any mobile device and when you scan that it actually turns it
into a link that you can click on and you can respond to the survey questions.
So you can download this and now share this QR code on the screen during the
middle of a presentation, you can print it out, you can hand it out as a flyer,
you can put it on a billboard and make it display
so that people can just scan the barcode at any point you want during
your presentation and it will give a link to those users to click on where
they can fill in the survey responses. So I'm going to take this and I'm going to
slide it over to my other desktop and we're going to come to the responses
section. Now you have an active survey that is ready to go during your
presentation. Now on the bottom right-hand screen I'll show you what the
image on your cell phone looks like when you're doing these recordings. As you can
see the form comes up based on the QR code scan and somebody can submit the
results and instantly you see the responses come up on the screen with a
graph and the fact that I selected extremely happy. Next person comes in,
selects it again. Let's say they answer it Somewhat happy and submit their
results and now you see those results come up as well. The beauty of this
solution is the QR code can be printed out ahead of time and given any way you
want to. You can even be in a Skype meeting and you can display the QR code
on the screen so that people remotely can scan that QR code and actually
respond to your survey questions at the same time so your entire audience remote,
local, anywhere they are, will be able to respond live and you'll get the
responses and be able to show them to people as they're collecting data
live. It's a great solution, works really well in a corporate environment for any
kind of live polling that you want. You can also review the answers by clicking
on this link and you can open them in Excel. One thing to note - the email
address is anonymous but if you had the setting to where "People only in your
organization can log in and do it" then you'll see the names of the people that
did respond. If you go back to forms you'll see that the quiz that you
created is there and you can just click on it to open it up again when you want
to come back to that location. So you can spend the time to prep these
quiz questions prior to your meeting and have them ready to go for your
live meeting. Hey, if you want to see more videos like this one please subscribe
