Closing the voting for specific slides can be useful if you need to explain a question before your audience votes, or for any other reason where you do not wish the participants to vote on a question at that moment.

If you want to close the voting completely for all slides, you can disable participation instead.

You can close and open the voting for a specific slide from both the Edit View and the Presentation View.

Note: It is not possible to close the voting for Quiz Competition or Q&A slides.

To let your audience vote again, simply go back into the Presentation Menu and click on “Open voting”, or use the shortcut “C” on your keyboard to toggle between opening and closing the voting while presenting in fullscreen.

From the Edit View you can open voting again by unchecking the box “Close voting” in the “Customize” tab.

You can also set a timer to start a countdown that closes the voting:

Pro tip: You can also use the hotkeys shown next to times above to start the countdown. By pressing them again on your keyboard you will add another minute/30 seconds/10 seconds to the countdown.
