About DirectPoll

DirectPoll is a free, web-based tool for creating and conducting live polls. It enables presenters to interact with an audience in real-time, ask questions, and visualize answers as they come in. Supports single and multiple-choice questions.

DirectPoll is a free, web-based service for creating and conducting live polls. Designed for presenters, educators, and event organizers, it enables real-time audience interaction. Users can create polls with single or multiple-choice questions and present live visualizations of the results. The platform is controlled via a 'cockpit' interface, and polls can be shared with audiences via a simple link or QR code. While the service is free, it limits polls to 500 concurrent voters, and all poll data expires 30 days after the last save unless manually extended. The tool runs entirely in a web browser, requiring no software installation for presenters or participants. Support is available via email and a detailed FAQ/Help section on the website.
