Mentimeter includes three tools: Menti Live for real-time interaction during a presentation, Menti Form for surveys that people answer in their own time, and Menti Pulse for short, recurring check-ins that track how people feel over time. You create all three tools from the New Menti + button on your dashboard.
Which tool should I use?
Choosing between Menti Live, Menti Form and Menti Pulse depends on when you want people to engage, and how often you want to ask.
Use Menti Live when you are presenting and want your audience to respond in real time, for example in a meeting, town hall, training session, class or workshop.
Use Menti Form when you want people to answer a survey in their own time, for example before a meeting, after an event, or to collect structured feedback.
Use Menti Pulse when you want to ask the same short question on a regular schedule, for example a weekly check-in on team confidence, alignment or wellbeing.
Menti Live: interactive presentations in real time
Menti Live turns a presentation into a conversation. You present the slides, and your audience responds to polls, quizzes, word clouds and Q&A from their own devices. Results appear on your screen as participants respond. Menti Live works in the room, online, or in a hybrid session.
Menti Live is best for:
Meetings and town halls
Training sessions, classes and workshops
Webinars and events

Menti Form: surveys people answer at their own pace
Menti Form is a survey tool for collecting structured input asynchronously, meaning participants respond whenever suits them rather than during a live session. A Menti Form can include several questions, split across pages, and can use conditional logic to show different questions depending on each participant's answers. You can also let participants see the results after they respond.
Menti Form is best for:
Collecting input before a meeting
Gathering feedback after an event, course or project
Supporting decisions with structured data

Menti Pulse: recurring check-ins to track change over time
Menti Pulse is a recurring check-in tool. You ask one short question on a rating scale, Menti Pulse sends the question on a schedule you choose, and the results build into a trend over time. All Menti Pulse responses are anonymous, which encourages honest answers.
Menti Pulse is best for:
Weekly team check-ins
Tracking confidence, alignment or sentiment over time
Spotting shifts early, before they become bigger issues
