What is Mentimeter?
Mentimeter is an interactive presentation and audience engagement tool that turns passive listeners into active participants—whether you're teaching a class, running a meeting, or leading a training session. Instead of just talking at your audience, you ask questions, gather real-time responses, and use those insights to shape what happens next. It works on any device, requires no downloads, and makes it easy for everyone to share their thoughts anonymously or openly.
With Mentimeter, you’re not just presenting—you’re listening, learning, and adapting in real time. Trusted by over 500 million users worldwide, it’s designed to boost understanding, inclusion, and productivity through simple yet powerful interactions like live polls, word clouds, quizzes, and open Q&As.
