Using Mentimeter with PowerPoint
Switching between mentimeter and powerpoint.
Perhaps the easiest way of using Mentimeter and PowerPoint together is to present from both tools, switching between the windows as needed. The simplest way to do this is to present Mentimeter and PowerPoint from individual windows while retaining access to your taskbar.
Doing this for Mentimeter is easy; press Escape when you have started the presentation to exit full-screen mode. Setting it up in PowerPoint needs only a little more work. Before your session, open the presentation in PowerPoint and select “Slide Show” from the top menu, then “Set Up Slide Show”, then “Browsed by an individual (window)”.
Mentimeter PowerPoint add-in: Pros and cons
As well as being used as a stand-alone activity or alongside PowerPoint, Mentimeter can be integrated into a PowerPoint presentation using the PowerPoint Mentimeter add-in.
With the add-in, Mentimeter questions can sit in your PowerPoint presentation, so you don’t have to switch between two windows to use both tools. This creates a seamless experience which keeps all of the affordances of PowerPoint with the added interactivity of Mentimeter.
However, it’s worth noting that some staff members have experienced a delay in being able to install the add-in. This is because the relevant permission needs to be added to your account manually, in a process performed once each month. We have also had reports that after some time, the add-in has disappeared from some users’ PowerPoint add-in options. This matter is currently being investigated and this page will be updated when we receive further information.

Not all of Mentimeter’s question types are available in the PowerPoint add-in:
Available ✅

LX / Copy and share your Mentimeter presentation in a different account
Copy and share your Mentimeter presentation in a different account
If you have presentations in a personal Mentimeter account that you want to copy to your UTS account or share your presentation with another Mentimeter user, please follow the steps below.
Open the Mentimeter presentation that you want to share and click on the ‘Share’ button (1) in the top right-hand corner of your screen.
A new ‘Share’ window will pop up where you will see a ‘Presentation sharing’ tab (2). Click on the ‘Copy link’ button (3).
At this stage there will be two scenarios:
1. You own both Mentimeter accounts
Open the source (personal) account in one browser (eg. Firefox). Then open the destination UTS account in a different browser (eg. Google Chrome), and paste the link from step 2 into your URL bar. This will open the presentation in your destination account.
2. Sharing with another Mentimeter user
If you want to share the presentation with another Mentimeter user, you will need to share the link from step 2 with that user directly. Once the user logs into Mentimeter and opens the link, the shared presentation will appear in the browser tab along with any poll results if available.
In both the scenarios, simply click on ‘Copy to your account’ (4) and the presentation will be copied to your destination account.
If there are existing poll results, then the recipient can also see those results in the browser tab anytime by opening the shared link, but results will not appear in the copied presentation in the recipient’s account.
If you prefer to share the presentation without poll results, you will need to export voting results as a backup (if needed) and then reset the voting results before sharing the presentation link. Alternately you can duplicate the presentation in your source Mentimeter account and then share the duplicate copy of the presentation without having to reset the results on the actual presentation slides.
