Goal
Bring phones into one room where answers change the tally live.
What you’ll have
Prompt
Needs
- Questions, a host and phones with a connection.
- A free live room. A room holds up to 500 phones on every plan, and your workspace runs a set number of rooms at once (one on Free); see Live rooms.
- A quiz for fun or practice. The template's answer key travels inside the page; for a score that counts, use the quiz prompt instead.
Steps
A free room
The agent checks that no other artifact of yours holds the live room.
A live page
The live-questionnaire template supplies ordered questions, a projector screen and a phone view: polls, clouds, text, scales, ranking, 100 points, Q&A and casual quizzes. Owners and named Editors present while signed in.
Phones join
Scan the QR or open the address. Guests need no account. Signed-in visitors join with their name and an editable quiz nickname; email is ignored. Joining discloses public nicknames and host-linked responses.
The tally moves
Answers arrive live. Locking and visibility are separate controls. Private results stay off the projector and public board; raw answers belong to their submitter and the owner.
Check it worked
Two phones change the tally without reloading. Reload restores an accepted answer. End finishes phones; Exit preserves the room.
If not
- A phone cannot join: The prompt asks the agent to check access.
- The header says live is paused: another of your artifacts holds the room. Answers still save; close that artifact's tabs or turn its live connections off, and the page joins within 20 seconds.
- The tally is still: The prompt asks it to check the live connection and that both phones joined the same room.
Practice quizzes use client deadlines and duplicate filtering; direct API writes can bypass them. Public visitor tokens do not promise cross-device account deduplication. Restrict access with platform sharing.
Variations
- The live-wall template collects short messages instead.
- A fresh artifact gives the next session its own answers. On Free only one room runs at a time, so close the last session's tabs first.
