100% free live polls
A free audience response system that runs on phones
An audience response system lets a presenter ask a question and see every answer in the room at once. LivePoll does it with the phones people already carry: show a QR code, they vote in the browser, and the results move live on the big screen. No clickers to buy, no app, unlimited voters, free.

482-193What is an audience response system?
An audience response system (ARS) is any tool that lets a group answer a question at the same time and shows the combined result. It started with handheld clickers and a receiver plugged into the presenter's laptop. Today the same job runs in a web browser on the phones people already have.
Teachers use it to check understanding, trainers to keep a session interactive, and event hosts to give a big room a voice.
Clickers versus a web-based system
Clickers still work, but they cost money per seat and need setup and cleanup. A web-based system replaces all of that with a QR code.
- No cost per seatVoters bring their own device.
- No setup timePublish a poll and show the code. People are voting in under a minute.
- Works anywhereIn the room, on a video call, or both at once.
- Nothing to collectNo lost remotes, no batteries, no receiver.
How to run one in a class or event
- Write the question and two to six answers in the poll maker above, or start from a template.
- Publish and open the presenter view on the projector. The QR code and join code are on screen.
- Let the room vote. Results move as each vote lands. With Pro or the Event Pass, you can hide them until everyone has voted.
- Talk about the result. Use the phone remote to move to the next question without walking back to the laptop.

There's no voter limit. The same poll works for a class of 25 or an audience of several hundred.
