How do I make a presentation interactive?

In QG Playground, build your talk as one session of content slides mixed with questions. Content slides hold text, photos and YouTube videos on a free 16:9 canvas, and you can mirror them on people's phones or keep phones on a “Look up at the screen” message. Between slides, add polls, word clouds, ratings, rankings and quiz questions. When you present, the room joins with a code or QR at qgplay.live, answers on their phones, and sees the results live on the big screen, so every few minutes the audience does something rather than just watching. Move through the session with Next and Back, arrow keys, or your phone as a remote. Leaderboards and a podium are optional, so the same interactive presentation software works for a lively quiz or a calm lecture. It runs in any browser, on a projector or over Zoom and Teams.

One session, start to finish

Build your talk as a single flow. Slides carry the story, and every few minutes the room does something.

Questions people ask

Can't find it? The help centre has step-by-step answers.

Can I import my PowerPoint?
Not directly yet. Add your key slides as content slides with text and images, then add questions between them.
Can I add polls to a PowerPoint presentation?
Not inside PowerPoint itself. Rebuild the slides that matter as content slides in QG Playground and put polls between them, or keep your deck open and switch to the Playground presenter tab when it's time to vote.
Can people see the slides on their phones?
Yes, if you turn on content slides on phones in the quiz settings. Otherwise phones say “Look up at the screen”.
Do I need a leaderboard?
No. Leave leaderboards out for a calm, lecture-style session.
Is it free?
Yes. Content slides, polls and word clouds are on the Free plan, for up to 20 people per session.
Does it work on Zoom or Teams?
Yes. Share the presenter view in your call, and people join on their own phones or laptops.
