Live forms

Live forms

Your Google Form, published at a link Skyfield hosts. Limits hold the moment someone submits, and everyone with the form open sees the spots count down.

Try a live form

The real choice control respondents get, with a small crowd behind it. Pick a session and submit a few times.

Why a live form exists

A Google Forms add-on checks limits after a response is recorded. In that window two people can take the same last spot. A live form claims the spot at the moment of submit, all or nothing.

What respondents see

Spots left on every capped choice, counting down as others submit. A choice that fills is struck through or hidden on every open page at the same instant.

What changes when you go live

You share the live link instead of the Google Forms one, and the add-on offers to close the original so nobody goes around your caps. Responses land in your dashboard and, if you connect one, a Google Sheet.
