You can only share an activity in Poll Everywhere if you are on the same "team." You and the group you will be sharing the poll and presentation with should be in the same Team. Teams need to be set up by an account admin. If you are not in a Team, notify [email protected] to be added to a Team for sharing Polls.
Once added the Team name and Total Team members will be displayed.
Once an account administrator has set up Teams any presenter on the account may share activities with their user group. All users must be part of a team to share activities with that team. Only the owner or creator of an activity may share it with others.
NOTE: Sharing a folder will share any and all activities and folders within that folder.
Step 1: Create a folder.
Name your new folder and hit Create folder.
Step 2: Put the activities you want to share into the folder. When you create a poll you can specify the folder you want your activities to be saved in.
NOTE: If you do not select a group or if you select default then the activities will be saved to your activities page and will need to be moved into a folder to be shared.
If you have activities that aren't in the folder you can move them easily by simply dragging them from your Activities page into a folder. You can access the Activities page from the left side panel.
If you want to move multiple activities at once you can do so by selecting their check boxes and then selecting the move button that appears.
Then select the folder you want to move the activities into.
Once inside the correct folder select the Move button to move the activities.
Step 3: Select the 3 dots next to the folder you want to share and select share. activity or activities you have added, then select on the share button. On the next screen, choose the group you would like to share to and hit save.
Now everyone in the Team can see and use your activities. Shared folders will have a small icon next to them to let you know they're shared.
