      Vote Effects

      The 'Vote Effects' sidebar panel allows you to configure the vote prompt, countdown clock and sound animations that can play during voting.

      In this article:


        The 'Vote Effects' sidebar panel allows you to configure the vote prompt, countdown clock and sound animations that can play during voting.

        Note: When the current slide does not contain an interactive question then all controls within the 'Vote Effects' sidebar will be disabled.

        Note:

        Changing the requirements in this view only updates the selected slide. If you want changes to effect the whole presentation you should update Preferences.

        Updating Preferences will only affect future created questions.

        Controls

        The 'Vote Effects' controls are contained within three sections:

        • Vote Prompt
        • Countdown Clock
        • Sounds

        Vote Prompt

        Control Description
        Show during vote

        When selected then a vote prompt will be created on the slide and appear during voting to indicate to the audience that they may vote.

        The initial style of the vote prompt is copied from the default shape within the current presentation theme.

        Note: The vote prompt message defaults to 'Vote Now'. This message can be changed by highlighting of all the text within the vote prompt shape on the slide.

        Countdown Clock

        Control Description
        Show during vote

        When selected then a countdown clock will appear during voting to indicate to the audience how many seconds they have left to vote. When the countdown time runs out then the vote will automatically close.

        When deselected then the vote must be closed manually.
        Style

        Changes the appearance and behaviour of the countdown clock. There are two types of countdown clock:

        • Analogue - The time left to vote is displayed within a pie slice that gradually disappears in a clockwise fashion until the countdown time has elapsed. If the countdown shape is changed then it behaves in the same way as the digital clock and remains static during the vote.
        • Digital - The time left to vote is displayed within a static rectangle. The shape of a digital clock be changed by clicking on it then choosing 'Edit Shape' within the 'Format' ribbon.

        The initial style of the countdown clock is copied from the default shape within the current presentation theme.
        Seconds The number entered sets how many seconds the countdown clock runs for before the vote automatically closes.
