Concepts
Activities
Polls, word clouds, and Q&A — the shared response primitives.
Activities are the interactive elements the audience responds to. They share one field model, so the same primitives power both live sessions and async forms.
- Poll — single or multiple choice; results tally live.
- Word cloud — free-text submissions aggregated into a weighted cloud.
- Q&A — questions submitted and upvoted by the audience.
More activity kinds
Beyond the core three, Oratora also supports:
- Quiz — a timed, always-scored multiple-choice question (a poll becomes scored too if you mark a correct option).
- Rating — a star or smiley scale.
- NPS — a 0–10 Net Promoter Score question.
- Open text — a free-response prompt without word-cloud aggregation.
- Spin wheel — a randomized picker, handy for prize draws or shout-outs.
- Social wall — a live feed of audience submissions on the big screen.
- Slides — a presentational content slide (title, bullets, statement, or image) shown on the big screen between activities. Collects no responses.
Same engine, more renderers
Every activity is the same contract — prompt in, responses in, an aggregated result out. Adding a new kind means extending the shared type union and adding a renderer; the underlying engine doesn't change.
