Description
DirectPoll lets you create a poll in a minute and run it live. Your audience opens the vote link or scans a QR code and votes from their phones - no app to install, no account to create. The results appear live on a results screen you project, or right on your slides with the DirectPoll add-in for PowerPoint on Windows and the companion app for PowerPoint on macOS.
You run the poll from the cockpit: prepare your questions in advance or on the spot, move through them at your own pace, and your audience cannot skip ahead. Mark correct answers and reveal them when you are ready, hide the results while voting is open, and restrict a poll to your participants with access tokens - features built for classrooms, lectures, webinars and training sessions. Up to 500 people can vote at the same time in each poll, and you can download everything as an Excel file afterwards.
DirectPoll is free, has no ads and needs no account. Optional paid extras (DirectPoll Plus) keep a poll running longer or support the project. It is made in Switzerland by DirectPoll GmbH, and its visitor statistics are self-hosted and run without cookies.
Description
When users report a sponsor occurrence through the extension, it cleverly utilizes a privacy-focused query system to automatically bypass known sponsors. Additionally, it offers functionality to skip other content types, including intros, outros, and subscription reminders, allowing users to jump directly to highlighted segments. To ensure that a single heavily voted submission doesn't dominate, I implemented a weighted random distribution based on a specific formula, which prioritizes early votes significantly more than those on submissions that are already popular. This approach enhances the likelihood that newer submissions will be presented to users for voting, promoting a diverse range of content visibility. As a result, while the majority of users encounter the top-rated submissions, a select few will be exposed to less popular entries, giving those submissions an opportunity for upvotes or downvotes. This method not only democratizes the voting process but also encourages engagement with a variety of content.
