Polls are a way to increase engagement and interactivity in a meeting by asking questions for participants to vote or respond to. To access polling, select Polls.
Using Polls
If you have Polls saved to your Polls/Quizzes Library, you can edit or launch them in a meeting. If you have none or wish to create a new Poll, there are two options.
Polls
Polls are multiple-choice based activities, and have two options:
- Single Choice, where Participants can choose only one of the listed options
- Multiple Choice, where Participants can choose more than one of the listed options
Advanced Polls and Quizzes
Advanced Polls and Quizzing offer more options for engagement, such as the ability to add images in the poll and a more robust selection of poll types. These options include:
- Single Choice
- Multiple Choice
- Matching
- Rank Order
- Short Answer text
- Long Answer text
