Kyoshu (挙手, “raising your hand” in Japanese) is a live polling and Q&A tool for meetups, talks and classes. The host doesn't need an account, and neither does the audience.

What you can run

  • PollsUp to 6 options. Results rise on the big screen like placards going up. You decide when, and whether, phones see the results.
  • Word cloudThe more people send the same word, the bigger it gets. Approve each answer before it reaches the screen, or let them through instantly.
  • Open textCollect one-line answers and show the latest on screen, with the same optional review step.
  • Q&A boardOpen for the whole talk. Questions are sorted by upvotes, so the one most people want answered is at the top.
  • ReactionsFive emoji people can tap at any time. They float up on the big screen.

How it works

  1. Press “Create a room” on the home page. No account, no email.
  2. Open the big-screen view on the projector. It shows a QR code and a 6-character room code.
  3. People scan the code with their phone camera. Nothing to install, no name asked.
  4. Press “Show” on a question and every phone and the big screen switch to it.

What it doesn't collect

  • No names, email addresses or location are collected. Each device gets a random ID.
  • Rooms and everything in them are deleted 90 days after they're created.
  • It's free because one sponsor card can appear in the room, always labeled “PR” with the sponsor's name. Sponsors only see view and click counts.
