Create a Quick poll

Want to know what the other participants feel or think about something? With the Quick poll feature, hosts and moderators can easily poll the audience, and in a fun way! Choose rating icons of thumbs or smileys, letters or stars, and see results in real time.

Set up a Quick poll

1. Click the 3 dots menu on the bottom toolbar.

2. Click Quick poll.  

The icon options open.

3. Click the icon set that best fits your question:

Thumbs up / down - for Yes / No or Agree / Disagree questions

Happy / neutral / sad face - for feelings about the topic

A / B / C / D - for multiple-choice responses

Stars - for Likert scale polling

A pop-up window displays for editing your poll. Here you can:

• type a title for your poll by clicking the pencil icon.
• toggle for responses to be anonymous (blue displayed in toggle) or not (grey displayed in toggle).

4. Click Start poll to launch the poll for the participants. 

See poll results in real-time

As participants respond to the poll, you'll see results in the poll pop-up window. Results display here as aggregated results of the percentage of votes per option, as well as the ratio of those who voted. 

You can see individual responses by the indicating icons on the participants list.

End a Quick poll

1. When you are ready to end the poll, you can decide whether you'd like to share the aggregate results or simply end the poll experience.

• Click End to stop the poll without the participants seeing the aggregated results, or seeing what other participants have answered individually.
• Click Present & end to stop the poll and instead display a pop-up window with the aggregate results visible for you and all participants.

You can dismiss the results window by clicking the X.

A confirmation message displays: Are you sure you want to dismiss the results for all participants. 

2. Click Dismiss for everyone.
