Mentimeter – do not use ‘Shared Presentations’

In Mentimeter, a ‘Shared Presentations’ feature has appeared on the left-hand side toolbar as part of a recent update, as well as an option on the menu in each presentation called ‘Move to Shared Presentations’. We are advising you not to use this feature, as it shares both the presentation and results with everyone within the University. We are aware that this is not suitable for University use and are therefore discussing disabling this feature with the software provider. 

If you have already moved your presentation to this new area, it’s very easy to move back:  

  • Go to Share Presentations 
  • Select the three dots on the right-hand side 
  • Select ‘Move to My Presentations’ 

If you would like to share your presentation to collaborate with another member of staff, you can do this in the way you are used to, from the ‘My Presentations’ section:  

  • Select the three dots next to the presentation you want to share
  • Select ‘Invite Collaborators’, and type the email address of the user you wish to share with 
  • Select ‘Invite Users’ 

Or 

  • Select the three dots next to the presentation you want to share 
  • Select ‘Share’ and then ‘Invite Collaborators’ 
  • Type the email address of the user you wish to share with 
  • Select ‘Invite Users’ 

Please note that Groups are only for sharing templates.
