⏱️ Response settings: time limit, hide result, stop submission and more

Interactive slides share a set of switches in the Settings block of the Content tab: give people a time limit, keep results hidden until you are ready, close the slide for new answers, allow several answers per person, or ask for a name with each answer. Which switches you see depends on the slide type (see Every setting below); options that only one slide type has are explained in that slide type’s article.

The timer starts — and the slide opens for answers — every time the slide comes on screen. A small timer under the slide shows the seconds left; click it to switch to 30s, 60s, 1′30, 2′, 3′, 4′ or 5′ on the spot. When it reaches zero you see Time’s up!, a sound plays and no more answers are accepted. Press Enable Submission to let late answers in.

Open Ended, 2×2 Grid, Whiteboard and Draw are anonymous by default. Turn on the name, email and avatar switches and the phone shows those fields below the answer. They are optional for the participant; what they enter is shown with their response (for example the name and emoji on an Open Ended card). To make details required for the whole presentation, use Collect Audience Information instead.

Under Actions, Clear result this slide deletes every response to the selected slide right away (there is no confirmation), so you can run it again with a new group. A quiz goes back to its lobby. While presenting, the same action is Reset slide result in the ☰ menu. To clear the whole presentation, use Clear all results in the top bar. The button is on every slide that collects answers, except the live game slides (such as Tug of War, Bingo or Hot Potato), which start a fresh round each time.
