Mentimeter is a web-based audience interaction tool with an official app for participating in live voting sessions. Running Mentimeter on your PC makes it practical to stay engaged in group activities while keeping other work and notes visible on your screen. The app handles multiple question formats and lets you vote anonymously alongside other participants.

Core Question Types You'll Encounter

The app supports a wide range of interaction modes. Here's how a typical Mentimeter session unfolds:

  1. Enter a session code or join via a link provided by the presenter.
  2. View the active question in your chosen format: multiple choice, word cloud rating, scale ranking, or open-ended prompt.
  3. Submit your response, whether clicking an option, dragging a rating slider, or typing text.
  4. See live results aggregate as other participants vote in real time.
  5. Move to the next question when the presenter advances the session.

Participation Formats Beyond the Basics

Mentimeter offers specialized interaction modes for different needs. You can rate items on a scale from 1 to 10, prioritize options using a 100-point distribution method, plot responses across two dimensions, or participate in predictive polls. The app also enables question submission so audiences can ask presenters directly. A countdown clock signals when voting closes for each question.

Desktop Convenience for Regular Users

Installing Mentimeter for Windows PC giving you the ability to leave the app active in a persistent workspace. Unlike mobile, a desktop setup lets you reference slides or notes in adjacent windows while you vote, and you stay logged in across sessions without re-entering credentials each time. The app applies a profanity filter to all responses, ensuring civil participation in classroom and corporate settings.

What Mentimeter on PC Does Not Include

The mobile app is primarily a participation tool: you join existing sessions and vote on questions prepared by a presenter. If you need to create presentations or manage live events, the web version at mentimeter.com remains the full platform. The app itself focuses on the voter experience, not presentation creation, which is an important distinction if you're evaluating Mentimeter for computer-based event management.

FAQ

Can I create a presentation directly in the Mentimeter app?

No. The app is built for participating in live voting sessions. To design presentations and set up your own Mentimeter events, you'll use the web-based platform at mentimeter.com. The app complements that tool by making it convenient to join and vote during sessions.

Do I need to pay to use the Mentimeter app?

A free version exists, though some users report limited functionality without a subscription. Review the pricing details on the Mentimeter website before committing to see which features align with your needs.

Is my vote anonymous?

Yes. All votes submitted through Mentimeter remain anonymous, so your responses are private within the session.

What happens if I lose connection during voting?

If your connection drops, you may miss submitting a response to the active question. Ensure a stable internet connection before joining a live session, especially in classroom or event settings where timing matters.

Can I use the app on multiple devices at once?

You can install Mentimeter on different computers and devices, but joining the same session simultaneously from multiple accounts may cause confusion. For uninterrupted participation, use one device per session code.
