Creating presentations with Mentimeter is simple! Watch this short video or read more below to get started.
Create a new presentation
When you're logged into your Mentimeter account, you can create a new presentation in just a few simple steps:
On your Dashboard, click the button "+New presentation".
Give it a name and click "create presentation".
You will be taken directly to the Edit view, where you can start to add slides.
Add slides to your presentation
To interact with your audience using Mentimeter, you can fill your presentation with questions and content slides. You can also add a fun Quiz competition to your presentation and our Q&A feature to enable the audience to ask questions directly to the presenter. If you have any of our paid subscriptions, you will also be able to import an existing presentation to Mentimeter.
How to create a new slide:
Click on "+ New slide" in the top left corner of the edit view.
Select the type of slide you want to add. Click on the links below to learn more about each slide type:

Start your presentation
When you are happy with your presentation, you can start presenting by clicking "Present" in the top right corner:
This will make the presentation full screen and take you to the Presentation view. You can now control the presentation and go through the slides using the arrow keys and keyboard shortcuts, or by using the presentation menu. To open the presentation menu, hover your mouse cursor over the bottom-left corner of the slide.
Get started quickly with a template
If you want some help getting started, we have a vast collection of examples and pre-made templates in the templates section located in your Dashboard.
If you prefer to start building your presentation from a template, click "Templates" instead of "New presentation". Use them as they are, or edit them so that they suit the content you want to share with your audience.
