Mentimeter is reaching past the presentation into recurring team sensing

◆Current state
Mentimeter publishes monthly or seasonal digests, each carrying a handful of changes. The recent run has been split between editing ergonomics — a grid view for slides with the same copy, duplicate, rearrange and delete actions as the thumbnail rail, PowerPoint add-in accessibility fixes — and AI applied to what the audience said, with automatic takeaways surfaced on the Results tab after a session. The larger move is Menti Pulse, in closed beta: recurring anonymous pulse checks delivered inside Microsoft Teams chats.
◆Where it's heading
The product is trying to exist between meetings rather than only during them. Menti Pulse runs on a schedule in Teams with trends over time, and AI takeaways make what happened in a session persist as something readable afterwards rather than a chart that dies with the room. Everything else is craft work on the authoring surface, which is where Mentimeter's existing users spend their time.
◆Prediction
Expect Menti Pulse to leave closed beta with Teams as the only delivery channel at first, and expect the AI takeaways already generated per session to become the natural summary layer over Pulse's recurring results.

    Grid view arrives for managing slides in bulk

    A first version of grid view lands, carrying the thumbnail rail's copy, duplicate, rearrange and delete actions into a full-deck layout. It is authoring ergonomics rather than a capability, and the note frames it as long-requested — the kind of catch-up work that runs alongside the Pulse bet.

    AI takeaways summarize audience responses after a Menti

    Three AI-generated takeaways appear on the Results tab after any Menti with five or more participants, copyable for sharing. It is the step that makes a session's output outlive the room, which is the same instinct behind Menti Pulse.

    Product Updates - June 2026

    ⚡ SPARK

    Menti Pulse enters closed beta — recurring anonymous pulse checks inside Microsoft Teams chats with trends over time. This is the entry that reframes the product's direction, and everything shipped since reads as either supporting it or tidying the authoring surface.

    Product Updates - May 2026

    The PowerPoint add-in applies titles and alt text to Menti slides automatically, clearing accessibility warnings. Friction removal for the enterprise users who present from PowerPoint rather than Mentimeter.

    Product Updates - March 2026

    A digest whose contents did not amount to user-visible change. Cadence is monthly regardless of how much there is to report, which is worth knowing when reading this feed.
