How to make a live word cloud

Ask the room a one-word question — “describe this quarter,” “what’s blocking you” — and watch the answers assemble on the slide, sized by frequency. It’s the fastest way to take a room’s temperature.

  1. Insert the Word Cloud widget

    Pick Word Cloud from the Chart menu’s live section and place it on the slide. Set your prompt in the Design panel — one clear question works best.

  2. Present — answers build the cloud

    The room joins by QR. Each submission lands in the cloud immediately; repeated words grow. The layout re-fits itself so the cloud always fills the widget without overflowing the slide.

  3. Read the room, keep the cloud

    The biggest words are your talking points — riff on them live. Like every live widget, the final cloud is saved to Sessions in your dashboard when you end.

Questions

What stops inappropriate words?
Response length and volume are capped server-side — a heckler can’t flood your slide or post an essay.
How many words can each person send?
You choose the prompt; participants can submit multiple words, and duplicates from the same person don’t inflate the count.

Your next talk deserves a room that talks back.
