About
Use a crowd vote to gather quick feedback using preset emoji choices. You choose an emoji set, and participants select one response from the two or three options displayed.
You can prepare a crowd vote before the session begins, then save it as a draft, schedule it, or publish it immediately.
Crowd vote responses aren’t anonymous. Participant identities are included in reports.
