The pace check: a live poll for Google Slides

A quick three-option poll mid-session to see if the room thinks you're going too slow, too fast or just right.

Free to start. Works in the Google Slides you already use.

How to set it up

  1. Get Doppio. Install the free Chrome extension and the Google Slides add-on. It takes about two minutes.
  2. Add a poll to your slide. In Google Slides, open the Doppio sidebar (Extensions → Doppio) and create a poll with your question and options. The chart in the video is Multiple choice (pencil style).
  3. Present as normal. The room scans the QR code on your slide and votes on their phones. The results build live on the slide.

What's in the video

You're ten minutes into your Google Slides deck. Is the room with you, or have you lost them? Here's a thirty-second way to find out. Louis here with today's Daily Drop: a quick pace check for your next workshop or training session. One question, three options: too slow, just right, or too fast. Watch the votes roll in. With Doppio, the chart sits right inside your slide, in the pencil style, coloured to match your deck. It takes about thirty seconds to set up, and it's GREAT for reading the room. Grab this idea, and add it to your own deck in seconds, at doppio.live/ideas. Enjoy, and we'll be back tomorrow with a freshly brewed Daily Drop!

Run the pace check in your next session
