How to Enable polling for webinars in Zoom App
In our polling feature, you will be able to create questions for your webinar that will allow you to choose between single choices or multiple choice responses. You can also create advanced polls using advanced polling software as well as matching, ranking order, short answer, and long answer questions that are available as options. There is also an option to use advanced polls as a quiz by setting the correct answers to the questions. Your webinar attendees will be able to participate in the poll during the webinar, which will allow you to collect their responses. The results of the poll can be downloaded after the session has concluded if you wish. There is also the option to run polls anonymously if you don’t want to collect any information about the attendees when the results of the poll are announced.
