# Which vendor offers real-time audience engagement features?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hi G2 community, I’ve noticed that presentations can fall flat if the audience isn’t actively involved. Polls, Q&amp;A, live reactions, or even quick quizzes can make a huge difference. I’m looking for <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/presentation-software">presentation tools</a> that make this easy to set up and run in real time.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Here are a few solutions I’ve been exploring:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/mentimeter/reviews">Mentimeter</a> (4.7/5 on G2, 650 reviews): Designed for interactivity, with polls, quizzes, and word clouds. It’s great for workshops and meetings, but how well does it scale for enterprise-level events with thousands of participants?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-powerpoint/reviews">Microsoft PowerPoint </a>(4.6/5 on G2, 4,251 reviews): Offers Q&amp;A and live reactions when used inside Teams. It’s familiar and widely adopted, but is this enough to compete with purpose-built interactive platforms?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/google-workspace/reviews">Google Workspace</a> (4.6/5 on G2, 43,609 reviews): Includes a simple audience Q&amp;A feature for live sessions. It’s seamless for quick collaboration, but is it powerful enough to handle real-time engagement at scale?</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For those of you who run live presentations:</p><ul>
<li>Which of these tools has delivered the strongest real-time engagement?</li>
<li>Do these features meaningfully boost participation, or do they just add extra steps?</li>
<li>Any surprises (good or bad) when scaling interactive sessions across bigger audiences?</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Thanks for sharing!</p>
