Mentimeter performs optimally when used directly in a web browser, but our PowerPoint add-in (availale with all Mentimeter plan types) offers a faster and lighter approach to integrating Mentimeter questions into your PowerPoint presentations.

Here are the requirements for Mentimeter’s PowerPoint add-in to get you started:

To create a seamless experience for our audience within PowerPoint, and to establish a connection between a PowerPoint presentation and a Mentimeter presentation, the add-in requires having write and read access to the PowerPoint document.
​
​Write/Modification access: required for the add-in to be able to save unique Mentimeter IDs to the PowerPoint document. This enables Mus to relate a Mentimeter presentation and its questions to a PowerPoint presentation.

Read access: required for the add-in to be able to read the previously saved unique IDs, and to ensure and keep the relation between the Mentimeter presentation and its questions and the PowerPoint presentation.
​
​Can send data over the internet: required for the add-in to be able to provide the intended Mentimeter user experience within PowerPoint. The add-in never sends any data that is related to the actual contents of the PowerPoint presentation.

Additionally, Windows users must have a correctly installed version of WebView2 in order to use the PowerPoint add-in. More information and download links for this requirement can be found in this Microsoft article.

It is important to mention that the Mentimeter PowerPoint add-in does not read or modify any content in the PowerPoint presentation. It solely reads and modifies the Mentimeter presentation ID and its corresponding question IDs, which are necessary to establish a connection between the Mentimeter presentation, questions, and the PowerPoint presentation.

Minimum PowerPoint versions that the add-in supports are:
