Your Home screen

Take a tour of your Home screen, where you can see and manage your presentations, and share them with others.

Welcome to your Home screen! Simply put, your Home screen is the starting page that you see when you log in to your Mentimeter account. You can always click on the Mentimeter logo in the top left corner to return to this screen.

This is what you'll see when you log into Mentimeter:

The Mentimeter Home screen after logging in, showing the New Menti, Start with AI and Import presentation buttons at the top, with recent Mentis listed below and the workspace menu on the left.

From here you can create and access your recent Mentis with just a few clicks.

Creating Mentis

You can find 3 options to create a new Menti:

  • New Menti will create a blank presentation

  • Start with AI will take you to the AI Creation

  • Import presentation will allow you to import an existing file (.ppt, .pptx, .key or .pdf)

Whichever you choose, you will be taken directly to the edit view, where you can start to edit your Menti.

Scroll down to see Popular features, which offer short tutorials on some of our most popular slide types for you to try out.

Finally, under Get to know Mentimeter you'll find inspiration in the form of text and videos showing the potential you have using Mentimeter.

My Mentis

On the left side of the Home screen you can see your workspace and Menti menus:

The left-hand sidebar with the My Mentis menu selected

My Mentis is where you'll find all your own personal Mentis. Here you can organize your Mentis into folders, and sort both the Mentis and the folders according to 'Menti name', the name of the owner or the date of the last edit.

If you are a Pro or Enterprise user, in the Shared with me folder you will find Mentis that have been shared with you directly as a Collaborator.

Workspace Mentis and Shared templates contain Mentis and templates that you and others have shared with the whole workspace.

You can also use the search bar at the top of the screen if you are looking for a specific Menti:

Please Note: it is not currently possible to move Mentis that you do not own into folders.

Instantly start a Menti

If you press the little Play icon to the left of your Menti name, you can immediately start the Menti without having to open the editor first:

Menti options

Click on the three dots to the right of the Menti to open the menu for different actions such as renaming the Menti, moving it to a folder, viewing the results, or inviting collaborators:

The sidebar menu

The menu in the bottom-left corner of your Home screen can direct you to some very useful links:

  • Find inspiration and ready-made Mentis in Templates.

  • Check out Integrations to learn about our integrations with other platforms, such as PowerPoint or MS Teams.

  • Help & support opens a knowledge hub panel where you can access materials to help you get started or get to know new features (videos, tutorials, help center, etc.).

  • Trash is where you'll find Mentis that you've recently deleted from your account. They will remain in Trash for 30 days, during which time you can restore them to your account. After 30 days, they will be permanently deleted.

The account menu

The menu at the top right of your dashboard can help you navigate straight to your settings, billing and workspace-management pages: Workspace Settings, Manage Members, Groups and Workspace insights (for workspace Owners or Admins).

In the bottom-right corner of the screen, you will see a small icon with a chatbox icon. This is where you can contact the support team.

Don't forget to look in our Help Center first - we might already have information there that can help you.
