How live results work
When you click Start Presentation, three things happen in step: a session opens, your audience joins, and votes stream back onto your slide.
The session lifecycle
- Start. The Chrome extension opens a live session for your event and gives it a memorable name (something like
brave-azure-dolphin). That name is how you will find this particular run in your dashboard later. - Join. Your audience scans your QR code or enters your 5-digit code at doppio.us. They connect once and stay connected. As you move through your deck, their phones follow.
- Collect. Each vote travels over a live connection and is counted the moment it lands. The chart displays the totals according to your Flow setting, either live or after a reveal. A results slide can display the same poll later in the deck.
- Stop. Clicking Stop Presentation closes the session. The final numbers are filed under the session's name, ready in your dashboard.
Fair play
A few quiet guardrails run during every session:
- Each participant gets one vote per poll per session, unless you raise the limit in Voting.
- Vote submissions are rate limited, so an over-enthusiastic thumb cannot stuff the ballot.
- The chart and presenter reports show aggregate answer totals. Participants do not need to supply a name or email address to vote. See the Privacy Policy for how voting data is processed.
See Running a live session for pacing a room, and Analytics & exports for what happens to the numbers afterwards.
