Interactive sessions that get everyone involved

The Present Live feature lets you host dynamic group activities - like quizzes, polls, and Q&As - directly in Genially. The presenter controls everything from the pace of the slides to who can take part.

Diverse question formats

Enhance learning with individual interaction

One of the unique things about Genially is the option to combine synchronous and asynchronous activities. As well as answering questions - simultaneously with the group -  participants can click, explore, and interact with elements on their own screen.

Frequently asked questions

As well as authoring and content creation tools, Genially includes an audience engagement platform called Present Live.  

Like other audience response software, Present Live allows you to host live quizzes, polls, games, Q&As, and interactive presentations for a group of up to 400 participants.

While the presenter controls the pace of the slides, participants can ask and answer questions, and interact with elements on their own personal screen.

Present Live includes a participant leaderboard and podium, game-style sound effects, animations, and more.

Design an interactive presentation, quiz, poll, or team game in Genially, then use the Present Live feature to host it live with a group of participants.  Present Live works in any educational or professional setting, whether your audience is in the same room, or attending a remote session via video call. All you need is an internet connection.  

Whether you’re in the classroom, running a training workshop, or hosting a team meeting, Present Live gets everyone involved and makes presentations more interactive.

The key difference between Genially and other audience interaction tools is the quality of design and level of interactivity.  


While most platforms offer generic question slides, Genially allows you to build unique and immersive adventures, and combine synchronous and asynchronous activities.
