3 Click PowerPoint Polling.
The TurningPoint Cloud Dashboard closes and PowerPoint opens. If using a question list, TurningPoint Cloud will
automatically parse the content into polling slides. This may take a few moments if there are a large number of
questions in the question list.
4 Open the PowerPoint presentation that contains the question slides if a question list has not been chosen.
5 Verify the correct participant list is loaded.
6 Start the Slide Show from the TurningPoint Cloud toolbar. Starting the Slide Show from the PowerPoint toolbar will
result in the Slide Show running as non-interactive.

Press the spacebar, enter/return key or down arrow to advance the slide. If using a mouse, a mouse click also
advances the slide. Alternatively, a PresenterCard may be used to advance slides and control polling. For more
information on PresenterCard, see
Pairing a PresenterCard on page 17.

Next Steps
