Polling

You will be able to launch the poll during your meeting and gather the responses from your attendees. You can also download a report of the polling after the meeting. Polls can also be conducted anonymously, if you do not wish to collect participant information with the poll results.

NOTE: Polls can only be created in the Zoom web portal.

Creating a poll

1. Sign in to the web portal (polls can only be created via the web portal)
2. Create a new scheduled meeting under Meetings and click on the Schedule a New Meeting link
3. Click on Meetings again and select the newly created meeting by clicking on the topic highlighted in blue
4. At the bottom of the page where it says You have not created any poll yet click Add
5. Add a title to the poll, then write your first question along with at least two answers
6. Select Add a Question to add more questions as required
7. To finish select Save

You will now be sent back to the Meeting page of the selected meeting and can see a list of polls at the bottom.

Launching a poll

1. When a meeting has been started, click on the polling icon at the bottom of the window
   
2. Select Launch Polling to start (title bar turns green)
3. Stop or change polls (if multiple have been created) by selecting End Polling
   • Polls can be switched via the down arrow next to the poll title
     
4. To share the result with all participants select Share Results in the poll window
5. Close the window after ending the poll to finish

Be aware that closing the window does not end the polling itself. Only when ending the polling or the meeting will the poll end.
