Live-Event mit Moderation und Handy-Steuerung

Bei einem Live-Event macht selten eine Person alles. Jemand schaltet die Folien vom Bühnenrand weiter, jemand liest die eingehenden Fragen, und ein Laptop an der Technik steuert die große Leinwand. PollsLive gibt jeder dieser Aufgaben einen eigenen Link. Diese Anleitung zeigt, wie Sie sie für ein echtes Event einrichten, einschließlich der neuesten Änderung: Helfer fragen jetzt den Beitritt an, und Sie lassen sie mit Namen herein.

Three links, three jobs

• Phone remote (every plan): moves the slides, shows or hides results, starts and ends the session, moderates Q&A and removes participants. It cannot run a prize draw.
• Moderator link (Pro and up, or with an Event Pass): lets questions and open answers onto the screen, or keeps them off it.
• Display link (every plan): the projection only, for the big screen, the AV desk or the PollsLive browser extension.

All three live under Remote & links on the presenter bar. Each link card has a copy button and a QR code, and the phone remote and the moderator link also show a 6-digit PIN. Every link stops working when the session ends.

How a helper gets in

Remote and moderator links need the PIN and your approval. Opening the phone remote or the moderator link takes three steps:

1. PIN. Your helper opens the link and types the 6-digit PIN shown next to it in Remote & links. Send the PIN separately from the link, by voice or in another app.
2. Name. They type their name and tap Ask to join.
3. Your answer. A request appears on your presenter screen, for example "Priya wants to use the remote". Choose Approve or Deny. Their page moves on by itself as soon as you answer.

A forwarded link is not enough on its own. Someone who gets hold of a link and its PIN can only send a named request, which you can see and decline.

A display screen works a little differently. It has no PIN: whoever opens the link names the screen, for example "Main hall projector", and it starts showing the session straight away. It still appears in your list, and you can remove it at any time. The PollsLive browser extension keeps using the display link as before.

Drei Links, drei Aufgaben

People helping, in Remote & links, lists everyone who opened one of your links and whether they are waiting or approved. Remove cuts one person off at once, and their screen tells them the host removed their access. Replace link gives one role a fresh link, and Regenerate links replaces them all and removes every approved helper.

Every slide move, reveal, moderation decision and helper change is recorded with the name of whoever made it. You see it in the Activity list during the session, and it is printed on an Activity page in your PDF export and in the recap PDF you receive. The public shared report leaves it out, so helper names never sit on a link anyone can open.

Sending a link by email

Each link card in Remote & links has Send by email. Enter up to 5 addresses at a time and an optional note, and each person gets a PollsLive email sent in your name. It says what the link lets them do, lists the steps to join, and carries a button and the link itself, with a reminder not to forward it and when it stops working.

When helper approval is on for the room, the PIN is in the email too, and you still approve each helper by name. Otherwise the email asks them to get the PIN from you. While approval is on, the person you sent it to, signed in with that verified address, gets in at once; anyone it is forwarded to still waits for you. Sending needs a verified account email address.

What your moderator sees

The moderator link opens on a dark stage with the PollsLive logo, the room PIN, a Live indicator and how many answers are waiting. On a phone, each answer arrives as a card: swipe right to show it on the screen, or left to keep it off. On a laptop the same queue comes with the roster. The PIN, name and waiting screens use the same stage, so your moderator always knows where they stand.

What the phone remote shows

• Handy-Fernbedienung (in jedem Tarif): schaltet die Folien weiter, zeigt oder verbirgt Ergebnisse, startet und beendet die Sitzung, moderiert Q&A und entfernt Teilnehmende. Eine Verlosung kann sie nicht starten.
• Moderator-Link (ab Pro oder mit einem Event Pass): lässt Fragen und offene Antworten auf die Leinwand oder hält sie zurück.
• Anzeige-Link (in jedem Tarif): nur die Projektion, für die große Leinwand, die Technik oder die PollsLive-Browsererweiterung.

What the room sees while answers are hidden

Alle drei finden Sie unter Fernbedienung & Links in der Präsentationsleiste. Jede Link-Karte hat eine Kopieren-Schaltfläche und einen QR-Code, und die Handy-Fernbedienung und der Moderator-Link zeigen zusätzlich eine 6-stellige PIN. Jeder Link funktioniert nicht mehr, sobald die Sitzung endet.

Wie ein Helfer hereinkommt

1. Start the session a little early and open Remote & links.
2. Give the display link to the AV desk, or open it on the presentation laptop and name the screen.
3. Send the phone remote and the moderator link to your helpers with Send by email, or copy them and pass on the PIN separately.
4. Approve each helper by name as their request appears, and remove anyone you do not recognise.
5. Afterwards, read the Activity page in your recap PDF to see who did what.
