The polling feature for meetings allows you to create single choice or multiple choice polling questions for your meetings. You will be able to launch the poll during your meeting and gather the responses from your attendees. You also have the ability to download a report of polling responses after the meeting. Polls can also be conducted anonymously, if you do not wish to collect participant information with the poll results. Hosts must have a licensed account to use polling.
ENABLE POLLING ON YOUR ACCOUNT (HOST)
- Sign in to the Zoom Settings
- Navigate to the Polling option on the Meeting tab and verify that the setting is enabled. If the setting is disabled, click the toggle to enable it.
CREATE A POLL
- Go to the Meetings page and open your scheduled meeting. If you do not have a scheduled meeting, schedule a meeting now.
- From the meeting management page, scroll to the bottom to find the Poll option. Click Add to begin creating the poll.
- Enter a title and your first question.
- (Optional) Check the box to make the poll anonymous, which will keep the participants’ polling information anonymous in the meeting and in the reports.
- If you would like to add a new question, click Add a Question to create a new question for that particular poll. NOTE: All questions in a poll will be shown to participants at one time. As a result, you may want to add a second poll for your next question if you would like it to be shown to participants at a different time.
- Once you have entered questions and answers, select Save at the bottom.
