How does Mentimeter work?

Mentimeter is web-based, which means that you do not need to install any software to use it. If you are the presenter, all you need is a web browser and an internet connection. All your audience needs is a device that can run a web browser and can access the internet. Smartphones, tablets, laptops…Mentimeter will work on all of these. There is no app to download and no need for the audience to have Mentimeter accounts.

You need internet access to use it, but students may not wish to use their own mobile data so university WiFi should be offered as an alternative.

Does my audience need logins?

No. Only the presenter needs to log into the system. Students will only need logins if they want to create their own Mentimeter presentations and polls.
Please bear in mind that this anonymity carries a remote risk of inappropriate posting from students. We take this seriously and ask all staff to read and be familiar with our guide to creating a safe online space in Mentimeter..
