FAQs

1. I could not sync my ecampus course with Poll Ev. You need to have your course available to students in order to sync it with Poll Everywhere.

2. My students did not receive an invitation to Poll Everywhere If students did not receive an email, there are two options to solve this:

a) Go to polleverywhere.com website and check participants. Type the student name and see if that student is enrolled, click on the name and click on re-invite button.

b) Or, ask the student to go to your poll e.g. pollev.com/pluna, then enter their email address (email.tamu.edu or tamu.edu) and reset password.

3. I cannot see my polls.

Remember to login to Poll Everywhere within PowerPoint (Add-in tab) and then click on slide show.

4. My students cannot answer the polls. If you have setup your polls to just registered participants, they will need to use the account registered for that (email.tamu.edu or tamu.edu)

5. I cannot install Poll Everywhere on my computer. IT has set as default to install Poll Ev without IT admin password, but if you have problems with this, call HelpDesk at (979) 845-83-00
