A Live session is presenter-led. You run the questions from the presenter view while participants answer on their own phones. Everything starts from the Share tab of a Live form.

The Share tab of a Live form, then the lobby participants see before you start.

​
How participants join

Participants join from a phone browser. They do not need an account or an app.
  • Join link: https://ui.formai.app/live/join. Anyone with this link can join the lobby.
  • Live PIN and QR code: the PIN is generated when you start the session, and the PIN and QR code appear on the welcome screen at that moment. Participants join with the PIN or by scanning the QR code.
QR codes exist only for Live sessions. Surveys and quizzes are shared with a link, an embed, or an email button.
