Quick Form
Collect names, emails and any other details from your audience with a short form on their phones.
What is Quick Form?
A Quick Form slide puts a short form on every participant’s phone. It always starts with Audience Name and Audience Email, and you can add your own fields such as Company, Job title or Phone. Use it to collect leads at an event, take attendance in a class or training, build a sign-up list for a follow-up, or gather details before a giveaway. The big screen shows a preview of the form and a live count of responses — the answers themselves stay private and are read in the report afterwards.

How the audience responds
Participants see the title, the description and the form: one box per field, with placeholders such as Enter your name, Enter your email or Enter your Company, and a red * on required fields. If they already gave a name when joining, it is filled in for them. The email box checks that the address looks valid. Once the required fields are filled in they tap Submit, see Submitted successfully, and the form is replaced by Thanks! Your response has been submitted.
View results
The big screen shows a preview of your form — every field with its label, a * on required ones and a Submit button — so people know what to fill in, plus a live chip such as 12 responses. Individual answers are never shown on the big screen. To read them, open Report & export data from the top bar: the Quick Form slide shows a table with one column per field and the time of each submission. See View, reset and export results.
Ways to use a Quick Form
- Events and webinars: collect name, email and company from people who want the slides or a follow-up call.
- Classroom: take attendance at the start of the lesson with name and class or student number.
- Training: gather name, team and manager for completion records.
- Meetings: collect volunteers for a project, with name, email and preferred time slot.
Frequently asked
Can a participant submit the form twice?
Each participant has one response per Quick Form slide. If the same participant submits again, their earlier response is updated rather than added as a new one.
Can I remove the name or email field?
No. Audience Name and Audience Email are always part of the form. You can make either of them optional by clicking its ✱.
What kinds of fields can I add?
Each field you add is a short text box. The email field is the only one that checks the format of what is typed.
Can the audience see each other’s answers?
No. The big screen only shows the form and the number of responses. Answers are visible to you in Report & export data.
How is this different from collecting audience information when people join?
Collect Audience Information (in Settings → General Settings) asks for details before someone enters the presentation. A Quick Form is a slide you show at the moment you choose, with your own fields.
