Polls is an optional feature that is available for Plus and Professional-tier events. |
Polls is a great and easy-to-use feature that will ensure your participants know that their opinions matter. Polls can be used as an engagement feature both before, during and after an event. You can also schedule Polls to be active between specific times as desired.
Most people use this feature to gather feedback and opinions from participants, either before or after a specific session, or about the event. Individual Polls and Poll results can be visible or hidden to participants, making this a feature you as an organizer can use for many different purposes. It is also an AV-Friendly feature, allowing you to project the poll on stage, and show live results while the audience cast their votes.
To activate Polls, indicate in the event request form that you would like to use this feature or contact our support and we'll be happy to set it up for you. Once Polls have been activated you can start adding polls by going to "Polls" in the "Modules" category of the main menu.
