Vevox

Vevox is our audience engagement tool at Maynooth University, which enhances online, hybrid, and face-to-face sessions with options for live polling, quizzes, surveys and Q&A.

Where can I learn how to use Vevox?

Do my students need an app to answer polls in Vevox?

No. They can answer all polls and questions straight from their internet browser without needing to download any app. They simply type in https://vevox.app into a browser, enter the 9-digit Session ID (which they get from your session), and they are ready to go. Alternatively, if there is a QR code displayed, they can simply open their camera app on their phone, and when they move the lens over the code, a link will appear for them to click to access the session.

Can I have polling and Q&A in the same session?

You can switch seamlessly between asking polling questions, getting feedback and comments with the Q&A message board, showing quiz leader boards, and having surveys completed. All within one session.

How many participants can join my Vevox session?

This depends on the type of package you have.

Free account: up to 100 participants/students
Institution plan: Up to 5000 participants/students (this is the plan currently active for Maynooth University staff).

Does Vevox work with MS Teams?

Yes, it does. Vevox uses present view to display polling, Q&A, surveys, and quizzes to participants. It is easy to share your screen from within the Teams app.
Note: the text question type will only display the responses but not the ‘correct answer option’ in Teams.

Does Vevox work with a Mac?

As Vevox is primarily browser based, it works with both Macs and PCs. However, the PowerPoint add-in is not currently available for Macs. Vevox have created a workaround should you want to use PowerPoint and Vevox in tandem. Read more about presenting with a Mac computer or iPad here.

Does Vevox work offline without internet connection?

No, Vevox does not work offline. You need an internet connection when you set up your questions or when presenting to your students, so they can see the audience display. Your students would also need an internet connection (Wi-Fi or data) to participate in your polls for the results to show live.

The only exception comes into play when using the PowerPoint add-in function. When you use this function, you can set up, edit, and make changes to your slides & questions working in offline mode. However, when presenting your slides (in PowerPoint) you must be online to launch your session and open the polls to participants.
