Events are designed to allow participants easy access without the need to create an iClicker account, register for a course, or purchase a subscription. There are two methods of participating in an iClicker Cloud Event: using a web browser or using a remote. There is no mobile app available for Events.
Once they join the Event, participants will answer polling questions the same way they would in an iClicker Cloud Course.
Joining an Event from a Web Browser
When it is time to start the Event, the facilitator will share the join information. The join information can be either:
A join code, which participants enter at join.iclicker.com.
A URL that already includes the join code.
A QR code that, when scanned, takes participants to the join URL.
When participants enter their join code or go directly to the join link, they simply click the Join Now button to join the Event. Facilitators can also display the join information while they are running the Event.
Joining an Event Using a Remote
Participants using remotes do not need to use any join information to participate, nor do they need to register a remote. The only requirement to participate is that the remote shares a frequency with the iClicker base used for the Event. Learn more about participating in a poll using a remote.
Before and After the Event
Participants can only join Events while they are running.
Participants can't join the Event early, even if the join information is shared at some point before the Event. They can visit the join URL but the Join Now button will not be active.
Likewise, participants can't join the Event after it ends. If participants try to join within a week of the Event ending, there will be a message that the Event they are trying to join has already ended and the option to join is not shown. After a week passes, the Event won’t be found and the participant sees the same error message that they would when entering an invalid code.
Participants are unable to review the Event results after the Event. However, if the facilitator has participant contact information, they may choose to export and share the results outside of iClicker.
