Find out how your audience can play a quiz/complete a survey in their own time. Choosing the self-paced setting lets your audience proceed through a presentation without a host. This is great for:
  • Teachers who want to assign a quiz as homework.
  • Quiz masters who want to give their players freedom to complete a quiz at a time that suits them.
  • Trainers who want to carry out a survey that participants can complete at their own pace.

How to turn on self-paced mode

2

Choose Audience (self-paced)

Choose Audience (self-paced).
Remember to set your presentation to public mode first before sending your quiz out to participants. You can always set it back to private mode whenever you want by pressing the lock icon beside your presentation title: Turning on private mode for your presentation.

On the audience’s screen

Once you turn on the Self-paced feature, your audience will be able to navigate through the slides at their own pace, without the need for a presenter. The Back and Next navigation bars can be used to move to the previous or next slide. This feature makes it easy for your audience to follow along with your presentation and complete it on their own time.

Does self-paced mode change the participant limit?

No. Self-paced mode only changes who advances the slides — it doesn’t change how many people can join. Your participant limit is exactly the same as a host-led session and depends on your plan, not on the mode. On the Free plan that’s up to 50 participants at once. For the full details of what your plan allows, see what is included in the free account.
