Verified participants - Enterprise
You can now request Participants to log in with SSO before participating in a Menti. This is an essential tool for many modern leaders and teachers who aim to:
  1. Collect honest, anonymous feedback while verifying participation for internal surveys or compliance checks.
  2. Track attendance and completion in mandatory training sessions without exposing individual responses to peers.
  3. Create a safe learning environment where students can engage anonymously while still verifying their presence and participation.

Sharing presentations to collaborators just got a big upgrade
  • Assign access levels to the recipient between Edit / Comment / View
  • When you invite a Pro/Enterprise user you can choose from all three access levels: 'Edit', 'Comment' or 'View'
  • When you invite a Basic/Free/Member lite user you can only choose from 'Comment' or 'View'
  • Customize your invite with a personal message - set the context for your invite

Transfer assets to anyone in your workspace

💡Update to the Insights Button Icon
- based on user feedback, we have changed the icon to a lightbulb (chosen by 63% of surveyed users for its clarity and relevance). With the Insights Button you can instantly explore the responses to get deeper insights. It helps you find patterns in the responses (e.g. thematic clusters or key points). Read all about the Insights button here.

🎨
Refreshed slide design
- titles now scale smartly, use a lighter font, and have a fixed height to avoid crowding visuals. We've also adjusted text sizes, spacing, and margins around content, giving slides a cleaner, more open feel. Part of our Slides’ New Look initiative, these updates enhance readability and visual balance across all slides. Check it out in your account!
👀
New way to view Mentis

You will find it in the top right corner of your Home view and it will be turned on by default for all Mentimeter users. Read more about comments & notifications here.
🏞️ Quiz images
- Previously, images on quiz slides were only shown on top of the slide during countdown and voting, which has caused problems with options or content sometimes being covered. To improve the experience, we've removed this functionality and are now supporting the regular "image layouts" on quiz slides—just like on all other slides. Read more about quizzes here!
🙋🏽‍♀️ Manage requests as an admin
- The Requests page is a centralized hub for admins to manage join requests and Member Lite roles and upgrades. Admins can review and approve all types of requests on the Requests Page with a single click! Read more here.
💌 Find my workspace via email
- We have replacing the current ‘find my workspace’ page used for SSO authentication, with an email-based flow. Instead of a workspace name, users will be asked to enter their email address. Users wanting to join an Enterprise workspace with SSO enabled, but haven’t gotten an ‘invite’ link to sign up, can find their workspace through this page.

(PS: if you prefer the classic list view, you can easily switch back using icons in the upper right corner)

- a free workspace role that doesn’t occupy a license in Basic, Pro or Enterprise workspace. Member lite can collect responses from up to 50 participants monthly and create Mentis with free features. The new Member lite role enables organizations to include team members into their workspace, enhancing the team experience and asset sharing. By default, we allow 20 Member lite roles per workspace. You can read more about it here.
⚙️
New team setting
- we added a new permission setting that allows Pro and Enterprise workspaces to control who can invite new Member lite users to their workspace (admins only or everyone in the workspace).
🌐
Global presentation reactions
- reactions are now the same across a Menti — instead of per slide. This means that you turn them on and off for a full Menti instead of per slide. Add, remove or change which reactions you want in your Menti from one place! To learn more about reactions, check out this help article.
🗂️
Responses tab in results
- you can now view a detailed breakdown of the data collected in your presentation in the Responses tab on the results page. We are confident that this will allow you to better understand your responses, and in turn, your participants. We currently support multiple choice, word cloud, open ended, scales, quiz, ranking and pin on image. Read more about results here.
💽
Custom Data Retention
- our new custom data retention policy determines how long presentation data (votes, Q&A) is stored within Mentimeter, before being permanently deleted. With this feature, Enterprise customers can set a data retention policy on their workspace (for example 6 or 12 months). Please note: this feature can only be applied to workspaces with help from the Mentimeter team. If you want to learn more, reach out to hello@mentimeter.com.
