Survey maker for live, interactive sessions

Live surveys do three things that traditional meetings struggle with: they collect input from every person in the room (not just the loudest), they reveal honest opinions through anonymity, and they make the result visible to the whole group as it forms. Use them to gather feedback at the end of a session, check alignment before a decision, or capture sentiment on a sensitive topic. A 60-second survey often produces better information than a 10-minute discussion because everyone contributes at the same time.

Yes. By default, Mentimeter survey responses are anonymous — participants join with a code and respond without giving their name or creating an account. This makes Mentimeter particularly effective for honest feedback in sensitive contexts: post-event reviews, manager feedback, team retrospectives, classroom evaluations. If you need named responses for accountability (for example, formative assessment in education), you can switch on participant identification in your survey settings.

No. Participants join your survey directly in their browser — phone, tablet, or laptop — using a six-digit code. No app to download, no account to create, no extra software to install. The presenter creating the survey just needs a Mentimeter account; everyone else only needs a browser.

Mentimeter shows survey results in real time as participants respond, so you can react and discuss during the session. After the session, you can review the full results dashboard in your Mentimeter account, drill into individual question performance, and export the data as Excel or PDF for deeper analysis or sharing with stakeholders. Results stay attached to your presentation, so you can compare across multiple runs of the same survey.
