Run a session

Present on the big screen, the room answers on their phones.

Press Present on your deck

A session opens with a fresh code. The present screen shows the code and a QR, the question, and how many people are in the room.

The room joins

They scan the QR or go to showhands.app and type the code. That is the whole sign-up: there is none.

Watch answers come in

The counter tells you how many have answered. Results stay hidden until you reveal them, so early answers do not sway the room.

Reveal, then Next question

Reveal the results, talk about them, move on. Reopen voting if the room needs more time.

End the session

Ending closes joining and voting. The results stay in your Sessions tab for export, forever.
