Using the Polling Feature

As a meeting presenter, you can use a poll to create and share questionnaires. Polls can be useful for gathering feedback, taking votes, or testing knowledge.

To use the polling feature within your Meeting or Breakout Session, click the More Panels button then select Polling. 

 

Once within the Polling panel, you'll see options that will allow you to (1) Add a question, add an answer, mark an answer as correct, edit, delete, and move questions up or down. Once you've typed in the questions and answers to your poll, (2) decide whether or not you would like to view individual responses, then click Open Poll to present the poll questions to the meeting participants. Here, you can also Clear All polling questions if you would like to start over or begin a new poll. Use the Open and Save buttons (3) to open a set of saved questions or to save the set of polling questions you created for future use. Prior to opening the poll, you may also change the Polling Options (4) to display or hide the amount of time remaining to participate in the poll. 

 

 

While the poll is open, you have the ability to view the results the have been submitted and also that status of those who have started or finished the poll. If you would like to stop the poll prior to the alarm previously or set by default, click Close Poll. 

 

Note that if your attendees are using video conferencing systems on campus or applications other than their computer to attend the meeting, the polling content may not be available. If you experience this, you may use screen sharing to present the polling questions to all attendees.
