PowerPoint functionality - adding an AhaSlides presentation into one add-in window
If I want to use the PPTX add-in, instead of presenting from AhaSlides directly, I can only present one slide. There is no way to present multiple slides. Am I missing something? Or is this correct?
Please Add Participant Screen Settings
It would be awesome to be able to control the participant screen beforehand. Here are some features I would disable if participant screen settings were available: I would disable slide visibility on participant screens. Students tend to look down at their
Rating scale: identical results are not visible
If as a result of the rating scale two items have the same average value, only one is shown as it overlays the other. Would be nice to either move them a bit or show the average value next to the legend.

Use mouse scroll to move through slides
It would be awesome to use the scroll of the mouse to move through slides.
Video based Questions
It would be great to have a new category of question of Video based question or include questions in video like Ed Puzzle. https://edpuzzle.com/
Slide hiding possibility
It would be great if you could hide a slide. Maybe you are working on a new or quiz question that will show when you review the presentation in a month, etc.
Reseting Results and Publishing
I have the slides published to my students. They take the quizzes the first time and it's all good. When they take it again, they have and see their answers from before. In order for them to retake the quiz, I need to reset the results. Please create
clock integrated with spinner wheel
besides the time to spin the wheel, it could be great to have a clock /timer to limit interventions of the selected item on the wheel. i.e. spin the wheel for Anna and have 1 min intervention, then spin again and Tom has the set time (1 min) to his
Starting / ending embedded Youtube videos at timestamps
This is something that I found invaluable in Kahoot. Being able to set up only the section of a video that you want to run, and not having to worry about smashing pause, or finding the right starting point, etc., takes a lot of additional overhead and
Upload or embed videos (besides linking to you tube)
It would be great to have the option to upload videos (similar to images) or to link to other external sources (besides youtube) for video sharing.
Adding Vimeovideos to slides
I know we have YouTube as an alternative but can we also add Vimeo?
Undo changes/previous version
As far as I've seen, there isn't an option to undo changes after a certain amount of ctrl+z or after closing the presentation edit window. Nor is there a way to access a previous version of the presentation so you can go back to a moment before any damaging
Using "smart" Backstage
It would be nice if the left side showed the slide currently presenting, as the presentation moves forward the left side does not move with the presentation and you can get confused.
Anonymous responses but track by respondent
Hello. I love having the ability to create an anonymous survey by unchecking the box "Require participants to enter information" in Settings > Collect audience info. But when I do that, there is no identifier attached to each response, which means in

Make preview slide more detailed
Within the presentation browser you get a preview of the first slide of your presentation. As it seems, this only contains the background image (if present) and the preview is not updated, when the first slide changes. This is a bit annoying, especially

Always show full text in answers
When hovering over a column in the "pick answers" result screen the full text is shown above it. However, this doesn't work, when no-one answered that option. I often use longer option text so they quite often are shortened and in that case I need a way
Reveal mode
Sometimes we want to explain a concept or give a definition: and then reveal an example. I’ve missed this feature here.
Shared folders need improvement
Using slide decks from shared folders is quite cumbersome. I can duplicate a slide deck and it stays within the shared folder. I can rename and edit it, but I cannot move or delete it. I can open a deck from someone else within the shared folder but I
Badges
Hi, It would be great to have the possibility of issuing a badge for the winners, individual or group members. Thanks
Leaving presentation should show the selected slide in sidebar
Quite often when I leave a presentation the just presented slide is shown (which is what I expect) but the side with the overview of all slides shows the first slide instead of also the slide currently shown. This is _very_ annoying.
Option to enable mixed caps entries for word clouds
It might be cool to show word cloud answers with small caps only, but especially in languages which rely on upper case for words it is _very_ annoying to have them in small caps only.
Option to change time limit for all slides
It seems, that Ahaslides predetermines the time limit according to amount or text size of options. However, especially with non-native speakers it would be nice to overall increase the time limit for all slides.

Student Replay
One of the reasons I have began to transition away from AHA and to Kahoot is because of student feedback. After the lesson is over if I share the presentation with them as a learner it automatically shows the answer and doesn’t let them practice the questions.

Draw while presenting
is there a way to integrate that we can draw instead of typing on the presentation?
Answer images revealed after question is answered
It would be great if we could hide an image until after the Quiz: Pick an answer style question has finished. Since backstage is generally only seen by the host, sometimes the discussion would be improved if I had the chance to add a visual aid.
Points customisation
Dear Aha I love the software and how it works. Score Customisation for the quizzes would be where I would love to see an improvement. I would love to see an option for questions with multiple answers to be awarded different point values. Best example
Backstage should exchange windows
The backstage mode opens the "remote" in a new window leaving the presentation screen in the existing window. It would make much more sense the other way around - the main window might contain additional tabs which should not be visible during presentation.
Multiple-Time Poll
I would want audience to be able to vote multiple times in poll.
