Interactive presentations that get the whole room taking part

Bullets

Say it once. It’s on the screen.

Press + and talk. A moment after you pause, what you said appears as a bullet, tidied as it lands: “um, so, churn is down this quarter” becomes “Churn is down this quarter”. The room sees what you actually said, not just what was on the slide.

Reword, merge, indent and colour bullets, sort them into up to five sections, and copy the lot at the end. By voice or with the mouse.

• “change that to say…”
• “that one can go”
• “add a bullet that says…”
• “can’t read that”

Timer

Keep breakouts on time

Big countdown digits everyone can read from the back. Set it by voice, with the quick buttons or by typing a time. It chimes at zero and flashes red, so nobody needs reminding.

• “you’ve got five minutes to discuss this”
• “add a minute”
• “pause”

Mindmap

Think out loud, together

Build a spider diagram by voice as the room calls out ideas, then drag the bubbles about with the mouse. Save Image downloads it as a picture.

• “put Away Day in the middle”
• “add a branch for Team”
• “add Hiring off Team”

Spinner

Pick who goes next, fairly

A spinning wheel of names with ticks, a chime and confetti on the pick. Pull in everyone in the live room with one click, and Remove This Round makes sure nobody is picked twice.

• “spin the wheel”

Live

The whole room in, in seconds

Open a live session and a QR code appears with a short join code. People scan it or go to join.presentermax.com, type their first name, and their names pop up on screen as they arrive. Nothing to install, for anyone.

Wordclouds

See what the room is thinking

Ask a question and the answers grow on screen, bigger the more people send them. “Team work” and “teamwork” count as one. Add a countdown, choose how many words each, or hide them until the big reveal. Save Image keeps a copy.

Quizzes

A bit of friendly competition

Up to ten multiple-choice questions with a countdown on each. Faster right answers score more, an animated leaderboard plays between questions, and the winner gets confetti and a fanfare. Write quizzes beforehand and keep them in folders.

Polls

Take the room’s temperature

Two to six options and live bars with percentages. People can change their vote until you close it, so you can watch the room make up its mind.

Ideastreams

Ideas from everyone, not just the loudest

Ideas in whole sentences land as cards you can pin, reorder or delete. People can edit or withdraw their own while it’s open, and Copy puts them all on the clipboard at the end.

Send Link

Get the feedback form filled in

Push a feedback form, a sign-up page or any link to every phone at once, and show it large on screen. No more reading out web addresses.

Combos

Plan the whole session

Line up a quiz, a wordcloud and a link, then run them back to back with a green “Continue to…” button between them.

Voice control

Hands free, eyes on the room

Every tab and button has spoken forms, and a wide range of everyday phrasing is understood. Press + to start and stop listening, or choose your own key in Settings. Prefer the mouse? Everything works by click too.

• “you’ve got two minutes to discuss this”
• “spin the wheel”
• “that one can go”

PowerPoint

Inside your slides

Use PresenterMax alongside PowerPoint, Keynote or any slideshow. For early users, PPT frames put a quiz, poll, wordcloud, ideastream, link, combo, your bullets, the mindmap, a timer or the spinner inside a PowerPoint slide, live from the room’s phones. The add-in isn’t in Microsoft’s store yet.
