Run a Polling @ McGill session from PowerPoint with Vevox
Vevox is McGill’s polling tool. You can integrate Vevox with PowerPoint to create live polls, quiz competitions, or Q&A sessions directly in your slides.
The Vevox add-in works on both Windows and Mac devices, but only with the desktop version of PowerPoint. The add-in does not work with the browser-based version of PowerPoint.

Open a slide deck in PowerPoint, go to the Home tab, and select Add-ins.
Search for Vevox and press the Add button.
Click the Continue button and agree to terms and conditions.
Vevox will be automatically added to PowerPoint, and you will see a Vevox button on the Home tab. If the Vevox button is not present, restart PowerPoint.
