Mentimeter Reviews & Product Details

I like that Mentimeter allows a mix of visual and verbal media. For example, if I use it to ask a question, I can also include a relevant image that prompts reflection, or a funny gif to engage the audience on a personal level and alleviate tension. The features are easy to use; creating a Menti presentation takes a few minutes. Presenting it live is self-paced, which means we take as little or as long as necessary.

I use Mentimeter in my role as a university lecturer. In practical workshops, we use Menti to quiz students on previous materials and check their understanding. In such cases, the fact it's anonymous creates a safe space for students to answer without fear of reprisal. Meanwhile, the "leaderboard" brings in an element of friendly competition, which, coupled with anonymity, can engage the class on a deeper level than passive listening.

However, my favourite way to use Mentimeter is for polling student opinions during large-room lectures. In these settings, students don't often speak in class as they feel "on the spot" and it can be intimidating speaking up in front of dozens or hundreds of others. Using Menti quizzes allows me to give students an anonymous, safe voice. Asking "How are you doing today?" and grouping answers in a word cloud helps start the conversation in an easy-going, accessible way and makes the lecture hall less intimidating. In short, it helps students connect to each other and to me, by humanising the experience. Then, using open-ended questions and rating scales allows me to prompt the students' own opinions and insight, which involves them in the learning process.

In the past, students reported that using a quiz was more engaging than passive listening, especially to break a long lecture session. At best, it makes the audience an active participant in the content, and at worst, it provides feedback on the audience's reactions. For that reason, it's very useful.

The one downside of Mentimeter (or my own use of it) is that I haven't figured out how to incorporate it directly into Powerpoint presentations, without having to log in in a separate window, switch screens and present from there. In a presentation, that might mean changing presenter view, recording multiple screens, and it's generally a bit of a hassle. It does not prevent me from using Menti effectively, but it required a brief periof of adjustment and trouble-shooting presentations. As a result, it took me a while to get used to Mentimeter and get comfortable with it. What would help alleviate this issue is more sign-posting on how to integrate Menti with other software (for those, like me, who are a bit clutzy when switching task modes).

Mentimeter is an outstanding tool for creating interactive presentations that truly engage students. It offers a wide range of activity types, such as multiple-choice polls, open-ended questions, ranking exercises, and word clouds, that can be seamlessly embedded into your slides to encourage participation and real-time feedback. One of its most impressive recent updates is the integration with Google Slides, which makes it easy to enhance existing presentations without extra effort. The platform is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing both educators and students to interact effortlessly through any device. With its visually appealing live results and dynamic features, Mentimeter transforms traditional lectures into interactive experiences that students consistently enjoy and find motivating.

Nothing really. I will say it is a near-perfect tool for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mentimeter is an outstanding tool for enhancing classroom engagement and interaction. I especially appreciate its wide range of features like live polls, quizzes, and word clouds, which allow students to participate actively and anonymously. It’s excellent for instant evaluation of students’ understanding and skills, and the brainstorming tools help generate meaningful discussions. The ability to export results and use them for further analysis or documentation is a big plus. It also supports inclusive participation, making it easier to hear from every student, even in large or quiet classes. Overall, it’s a dynamic and effective platform for both teaching and learning.

Mentimeter could improve its easy integration with PowerPoint—it’s not seamless and doesn’t allow easy copy-paste of text or slides from PPT. Formatting options are limited, and more flexibility in design and layout would make it even better. Adding features like customizable fonts, better slide transitions, and more advanced visual options would enhance its usability for professional presentations.

I have been using Mentimeter for more than two years, and I use it every day during the week. Uploading my slides is straightforward, and it has made my classes much more interactive. Mentimeter also allows me to incorporate various universal design for learning principles, which helps make learning enjoyable for my students. To create a presentation have been very easy and stress free especially with the integration of AI. To implement and incorporate a video or audio into my slide has been perfect! As for customer support, I haven't had any technical issue that requires a customer support but some of their staffs that have visited my institution have been great!

Some features were discontinued like stopwatch and some other ones I can't really remember which were good to have especially during exams in a learning environment like mine. I would appreciate if they are added to give a more exciting experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mentimeter is an excellent tool for engaging your audience, adding interactive elements to presentations, and collecting feedback. I highly recommend it for use in higher education, as it effectively supports classroom, remote, and hybrid teaching environments. Additionally, it works very well for company events, team meetings, workshops, and similar occasions. What I particularly appreciate about this tool is its user-friendly, PowerPoint-like interface combined with a wide range of interactive features. It was very easy to implement, and their customer success management is also excellent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a system administrator, I would appreciate having additional features for user management and usage analytics. For instance, the ability to search or filter data and then perform bulk operations when necessary would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The open-ended questions are well organized. This is the only part of Menti I like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of canvas integration, the obsession with tracking every single thing from non-engagement pages, the lack of tools like drag and drop, the lack of page numbers, the 2 second lag between pages, no questions inside videos, the lack of ability to easily add a set of slides to an existing presentation. Those are the problems I had this week! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Mentimeter is its combination of ease of use and powerful features. Since I started using Menti, it has supported me in all my tech projects by helping me keep participants engaged and focused on relevant content. The intuitive interface makes it easy to set up and run interactive sessions, even for first-time users. Implementation is straightforward, and I can quickly integrate Mentimeter into my workflow or existing platforms.

Customer support is responsive and helpful, which gives me confidence when I need assistance or have questions. I use Mentimeter every week because it offers a wide range of features I need from live polls to quizzes and word clouds, that keep my sessions dynamic and interactive. The platform’s integration options also make it easy to connect with other tools I use, streamlining my preparation and delivery. Overall, Mentimeter is a reliable, versatile solution that enhances engagement and productivity in every project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I appreciate Mentimeter’s interactive features, my biggest challenge is converting existing PowerPoint presentations (PPTX) into interactive Menti sessions. To get the most out of Mentimeter, I often need to rebuild my slides and ideas within the platform, which can be quite time-consuming, especially during busy tech projects. As a result, I usually look for a ‘sweet spot’ between interactivity and preparation time, rather than fully leveraging all of Menti’s capabilities.

I’d love to see Mentimeter make it even easier to convert ideas and PPTX files into ready-to-use interactive presentations. A more seamless integration or automated conversion tool would help me maximize engagement without sacrificing efficiency. + I look forward more useful AI summary toolset.

Mentimeter is an excellent tool for encouraging participation in class. I use it in both my online and in-person sessions, and my students appreciate having the chance to review material, play games, and enjoy engaging icebreakers. It really helps create a more interactive and enjoyable learning environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting it up is quite cumbersome. I've noticed that the questions I previously created often don't function as well when I use the software again—sometimes features are removed, which means I have to redo my work. The overall experience feels very dull. While it's possible to add colours and backgrounds, doing so requires significantly more effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of copying PowerPoints into the presentation so easy integration. There are also some fun templates that can be used so that a presenter doesn't need to start from scratch. We use Menti for all of our classes for capturing attendance and the download function is quite easy to use and share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more "fun" templates to choose from and I also wish you could more easily copy slides from different templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently started lecturing using Menti without PowerPoint. I particularly enjoyed how it enhanced audience engagement through interactive slides. The use of open-ended questions, polls, and ratings allowed for dynamic and participatory sessions. Incorporating quizzes with a leadership board also effectively gamified the class, enriching the student experience and making learning more enjoyable and interactive.

It could benefit from a more flexible slide design, multiple answer options in quizzes, and easier image positioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
