Note that the Mentimote is only available for Pro and Enterprise plans.
Opening the Mentimote
You can open the Mentimote before your presentation starts, from your smartphone or computer, or during your presentation, from the presentation view.
Opening the Mentimote before you present
To open the Mentimote before you present, on a smartphone or a computer:
Log in to your Mentimeter account.
Open your Menti.
Click the drop-down arrow next to the Start presentation button in the top-right corner.
Select Open Mentimote.
The Mentimote opens and shows the first slide of your Menti.
Please Note: The Mentimote will only work in Presentation mode, as it involves the Presenter pacing the Menti. Due to this, the Mentimote will not work while in Survey mode.
Open the Mentimote from your smart device:
Log in to your Mentimeter account from your smart device
Open your Menti
Click the drop-down arrow by the Start Presentation button in the top right corner
Select Open Mentimote
Open the Mentimote from your computer:
Log in to your Mentimeter account from a computer
Open your Menti
Click the drop-down arrow by the Start Presentation button in the top right corner
Select Open Mentimote
Open the Mentimote from your Menti:
Log in to your Mentimeter account from a computer
Open your Menti and click Present
Hover your cursor over the top right corner of the screen to reveal the toolbar and the Open Mentimote button:
Moving between slides in the Mentimote
The left panel of the Mentimote shows the slide you are currently presenting, plus the previous and next slides. To move between slides in the Mentimote, click the arrows in the left panel.
Left panel
On the left panel, you can see the slide you are currently on, as well as the next and previous slides. You can also move to the next or previous slide using the arrows:
Using the tabs in the Mentimote right panel
The right panel of the Mentimote has three tabs: Notes, Responses and Q&A. The Responses tab only appears when you are presenting a Word Cloud or Open Ended slide.
Reading speaker notes in the Notes tab
The Notes tab in the Mentimote shows any speaker notes you have added to the current slide. Speaker notes are only visible to the presenter. Your audience cannot see your speaker notes.
Hiding responses in the Responses tab
The Responses tab in the Mentimote shows the responses participants have submitted on the current Word Cloud or Open Ended slide. The Responses tab is only available on Word Cloud and Open Ended slides. You can hide a response from the Responses tab without closing responding, so participants can keep responding while you moderate.
To hide a response in the Mentimote:
Select the Responses tab.
Click the Hide icon next to the response. The Hide icon is an eye with a line through it.
The hidden response disappears from the presentation screen. Hiding a response removes every matching response at the same time, and matching is not case-sensitive. For example, hiding "pizza" also hides "Pizza" and "PIZZA".
A hidden response is not deleted. The hidden response is still saved in your results and included in your exports. To restore a hidden response, hover over the Hide icon next to the response until the icon changes to an eye, and click the eye icon.
For more detail, read Remove or hide responses on Word Cloud and Open Ended slides.
Moderating questions in the Q&A tab
The Q&A tab in the Mentimote shows the questions participants have submitted with Q&A. In the Q&A tab, you can:
View submitted questions.
Present a question on the presentation screen.
Mark a question as answered.
Sort questions by newest, oldest or most upvoted.
Approve questions before they appear on the presentation screen, if Q&A moderation is enabled.
Changing slide and presentation settings from the Mentimote
The bottom-right corner of the Mentimote has controls for the slide you are presenting and for your Menti as a whole. From the Mentimote, you can:
Show or hide the joining instructions.
Show or hide all results on the slide. This control hides every result on the slide. To hide a single response, use the Responses tab.
Open the Mentimote on your mobile device. Selecting this option shows a QR code and a Copy link button. Scan the QR code with your smartphone camera, or click Copy link and open the link on your mobile device.
If you cannot open or use the Mentimote, check that you are on a Pro or Enterprise plan and that your Menti is in Presentation mode. If the Mentimote still does not work, contact our support team through the chat on this page.
