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/Quizzes on your Zoom menu bar.
Using Polls/Quizzes
If you have Polls saved to your Polls/Quizzes Library, you can edit or launch them in a meeting.
When customizing a poll or quiz, you have the following question type options:
- Single Choice
- Multiple Choice
- Matching
- Rank Order
- Short Answer text
- Long Answer text
What is the Difference Between a Poll and a Quiz?
A poll and a quiz have the same question type options; however, a quiz can be programmed to have a correct answer, whereas a poll does not.
Launching and Ending a Poll/Quiz
To launch a poll during your meeting:
- Select Polls/Quizzes on the Zoom menu bar
- In the Poll menu
- If there are no existing Polls, select Create to create your first one, then select your poll type
- To edit an existing poll, select Edit from the menu for that poll
- Customize your question to your preferences. If you want to save the poll for later use after the meeting, you can also tick the box beside
Add to Polls/Quizzes Library
- After customizing your poll, select Save
- Back in the poll window, select Launch to send the poll to participants
- When you are ready to stop collecting responses, select End Poll.
