Mentimeter at the University of Bern

Guidelines

You will find a comprehensive instruction on how to access Mentimeter on the page "How Do I Get Access to Mentimeter?"

  1. Go to www.mentimeter.com.
  2. On the top right end of the landing page, you will find the button "Log in". Please click on it. 
  3. You will be re-directed to the login page of Mentimeter. Please ignore the prominently positioned log in options ("Log in with Google", "Log in with Facebook", "Log in with Microsoft") as well as "Your email address" and "Your password". Instead, click on the Link "Log in with SSO" below the "Log in" button.
  4. You will find yourself on the Mentimeter page "Single Sign On", where you will be asked to type in "Your organizsation's workspace name", which is "unibe".
  5. Click on the "Continue" button.
  6. You will be re-directed to the Microsoft Login page. Here, enter your University of Bern Campus account data.

After successful login, you will land directly on your Mentimeter dashboard.

  1. Open PowerPoint.
  2. Click on the slide where you want to insert Mentimeter content.
  3. Click “home” > “add-ins” > “show all”.
  4. A new modal window emerges.
  5. Select the tab “admin managed”. Here you should find the Mentimeter add-in. If not, click “reload” at the top right end of the modal window. Now, select the Mentimeter add-in and click the “add”-button at the bottom right end of the modal window.
  6. The add-in has been successfully added to your current PowerPoint slide in the form of an interactive image.
  7. In order to use the Mentimeter add-in properly, you will need to be logged in to Mentimeter. In the interactive Mentimeter picture on your PowerPoint slide, you will be asked to log in to Mentimeter. Click on "Log in with SSO" below the "Log in" button.
    Please note: On clicking on "Log in with SSO", a new PowerPoint task is opened - in some cases, however, only in the background. Please check in your taskbar whether two PowerPoint tasks are open. The second should contain the "Single Sign On" page of Mentimeter. From here, proceed as described in Log in on www.mentimeter.com.

Note: There is also an official Mentimeter video tutorial on how to insert the Mentimeter add-in to your PowerPoint presentations. Take a look.
