Polls are a very simple way to learn something more about your audience, gather insights but also let them express their opinion. Once you activate the poll question, participants can send their votes through the devices and results get updated in real-time.

💡 Quick tip: Add a poll description
To give your polls a context, click the link under your poll question and type in up to 256 characters long description.
Step 2 - Activate it
Once you're ready, hover over your poll and click the play button to activate it. Live results will be displayed in the Present view as people start sending their votes. Every participant can vote once.
Step 3 - Deactivate the poll or activate the next one
Once people have finished submitting their votes and you've discussed the results, it's time to move to the next poll question or get back to the presentation. Activate the next poll or close it by clicking the stop button.
