It is possible for you to schedule a survey to be sent to attendees after the Zoom webinar is over, letting them know how they felt about the event. In order to simplify the feedback collection process, it is possible to download the survey responses as a report after the survey has ended. In order to collect feedback in real-time during a webinar, you can take a poll during the session.

You can redirect attendees to any third-party survey service, such as Google Forms or Survey Monkey, after your Zoom webinar as an alternative to Zoom’s post-webinar survey.

After holding a Zoom meeting, you can also set up a survey that will be sent to attendees after the meeting has ended. Find out how to conduct a post-meeting survey and receive a report following the meeting.
