Broadcast View Configuration

Ways to control what you see on your big screen

Written by Aaron Lifshin

See below how you can now Broadcast your Polls or Q&A and change their visualizations.

If you have a large display for your meetings, you can use Broadcast View to show the poll or question under discussion. The links to the Broadcast View are in the Presenter/Admin view.

Polls Broadcast View

The Polls Broadcast Views are available under "Broadcast" in the top bar.

You can select which polls appear in the Broadcast by clicking the button to Show / Hide the Poll in Broadcast View. The default will be showing.

Show/Hide Poll Results

By default, poll results are shown in the Broadcast view. However, if you don't want to show poll results in real time, you can hide the results from the Broadcast view and simply show the poll question on the screen

You can also control whether the Broadcast view shows the correct answer to a quiz. Next to where you select to Hide/Show the polls in Broadcast, you can select to Hide or Show the correct answer. If the green checkmark is through the icon, it is showing and the correct answer will be highlighted in the Broadcast view.

You can edit the visualization of polls within the Broadcast View independently by going to the Visualization Settings option at the top or the "..." menu on each poll.

After opening the Visualization Settings from either the top toolbar or the "..." menu on individual polls, you can access the Broadcast View configuration area.

From here, you can select which style you would like to show the meeting link in Broadcast View:

  1. Banner

  2. QR Code

  3. No Link

Banner:

No link:

Font Sizes control

MeetingPulse dynamically resizes your content to fit your screen, but long poll questions or many poll answers (especially long answers) may not look as you want them to. Here, you can resize the poll question, the poll answers, or both! These settings will apply to all polls and form questions in your meeting.

New Broadcast view controls

Broadcast View now includes an optional toolbar that lets presenters control most common actions directly from the Broadcast View itself, making it easier to manage live presentations without switching back to the Admin view.

Control

Function

Collapse/Expand

Show or hide the Broadcast toolbar.

QR Code

Show or hide the meeting QR code.

Slideshow

Turn slideshow mode on or off.

Response Count

Display the live number of responses.

Sort Results

Sort responses by vote count or keep the original order.

Show/Hide Results

Open/Close Poll

If you're displaying Broadcast View on a projector, livestream, or television, you can hide the Broadcast View control icons for a cleaner presentation.

In the Broadcast View configuration panel, simply disable the Show controls option under Broadcast view style for this meeting. This removes the on-screen navigation and control icons while keeping the visualization itself visible.

Comparison View

The Comparison View allows you to select up to 4 different polls and compare them. The link to that comparison view is available from the Broadcast dropdown.

The Show Results by Team toggle allows you to set up teams by Custom data and by poll answer and then group polls responses by team.

Configure Chart Style

You can configure the chart style of the poll by selecting a tile. You can choose between bars, columns, pie charts and classic charts.

Toggle on "Sort poll by vote" to have the result with the most votes appear at the top of the chart. You can also choose if you want your chart numbers to be based on Percentage or Number of Votes.

Finally, you can select how many results appear on 1 Broadcast View. If there is more than 1 page, your Broadcast View will be scrollable.

Click "Launch Broadcast" to see your configurations live!

Q&A Broadcast View

You can find the broadcast view for Q&A in much the same place as the polls broadcast view.


Feed View

The Q&A Feed View shows a list of the submitted questions in upvoted order.

Slideshow View


The slideshow view shows only one question at a time. You can switch between questions in several ways. 

When you're in the Presenter view, you can click on a question to set it to broadcasting. Click on "Broadcast" to switch to that question automatically. If "Broadcast" isn't in the toolbar, click on the "... More" button and select it from there.


Note: this will also change the Feed View to show only that question.

Both Questions and Polls have a slideshow option. This will automatically display the different polls in order, like a slideshow. This option is disabled by default, but you can enable the slideshow by clicking the link in the lower-right corner.
