You can now embed live polling questions into Google Slides using PollEverywhere! Here is how to make it happen:

Download the PollEv Presenter Google Slides Extension to your Google Chrome browser.
Refresh your Chrome browser and open Google Slides.
You should now see PollEverywhere tab in your Google Slides presentation menu:
When you're ready to insert a question (make sure you're logged into PollEverywhere), select the PollEverywhere tab and choose to insert a poll or create a poll.
When you have finished, you will see a slide that looks like this:
When you run your Google Slides in Presentation mode, this slide will turn into a live, embedded poll. You can even change the results display to fit your purposes.

There is no need to "Alt Tab" or exit out of you presentation to introduce live student polling. Enjoy!
