In a web browser, go to the URL for your app's VIP Portal.
The link to this URL can be found on your Event Homepage in the Touchpoint CMS.
Logging In
Log into the VIP Portal with your speaker credentials.
If you have not already created a speaker password, click the "create a password" link and enter your email address to have password instructions sent to your email.
Accessing the Moderator Console
After logging in, on the right side of the page, you will see stand-alone Polls under "Poll Moderation" and sessions under "Speaking."
Click on the poll title you are managing to open the moderator console for that poll.
Each poll moderation link has a megaphone icon next to it.
Using the Moderator Console
Opening the moderator console for the live poll occurs when you click the poll title.
From the moderator console, you control which question is displayed in the app and in any supplemental views.
To display the next question, click the right arrow above the question to go to the next question, then click “Display Question” to display the next question in the app.
The display button at the top of the screen is orange when ON and gray when OFF.
To display a question in the app, ensure “Display Question” is clicked and orange.
Only one question can be live at a time.
To make the next question live, select the next question from the question bank and then select “Display Question.”
To edit or delete an existing question, click the blue question text, edit the question in the editing window, and click Save.
Adding a New Question
To add a new question, click on New Question+ in the top right on the toolbar.
You may create multiple choice (yes/no), rating, or open-ended questions.
For multiple choice questions, indicate the correct answer by selecting the check.
For Audience Q&A, create an open-ended question by typing in “What is your question for ______________?” Then click Save.
Displaying Polling Results on a Projection Screen
You may use two computers, one projected to the screen (likely the one you’re already using for your presentation) and another to see the live poll moderator view to manage the poll. This is the recommended approach.
Or you may use a computer for the screen projection and a mobile device (tablet or phone) for the moderator view to manage the poll.
Or you may use one computer employing “split screen projection” so that part of your screen is shared to the large display and part is used as a non-displaying moderator view. Ask your audio-visual specialist for assistance.
Each agenda session with a Live Poll has a distinct and separate URL in the browser for the Projection View.
The URL will remain constant for that agenda session’s Live Poll.
When you change questions and display them and their results in the agenda session’s Live Poll, that same URL will reflect the changes on its Projection View with the newly displayed question and results.
On the computer that will project to the screen, go to the projection URL by going to the Live Poll moderator console for that poll via the VIP Speaker Portal and selecting “Projection View” under “Supplemental Views.”
Note on Projection View URLs
You will have to navigate to a different Projection View URL if you have an agenda session with a Live Poll at 10:00 AM and there is a separate Live Poll for the 11:00 AM session.
