While there are various tools and add-ins that you can use for conducting Live polls during PowerPoint presentations, when it comes to Prezi, it can be hard to find a reliable one.
While Prezis can be more attention grabbing than PowerPoint slides, you need to be able to effectively gauge user response at times and that isn’t easy with Prezis due to lack of third-party web services. Sli.do however, is an exception.
