How to Create Instant Polls for Your Courses

Quickly survey your student's interests, opinions, and experience with easy instant polls. When a poll question is posted, it will be immediately visible to students.

Just follow the steps below.

Step 1: Find the course on My Courses. Click See All Sessions to the right of the course title then click Go to Session Room on the next page.

Step 2: On the next page, a popup window showing your mic and camera settings will appear. You can skip this part for now, and click Enter Session Room.

Step 3: Click the Polls tab on the right side beside the video screen. Click Create New Poll.

Step 4: Type in the poll name, a question, and at least 2 possible answers.

Add more answers by clicking +Add Answer.

Step 5: Choose “Share number of voters” to let the audience see exactly how many people voted in raw numbers, or choose “Share percentage only” to show only the percentage of total voters who chose each answer.

Step 6: Click Save.

When you create and save a new poll, it is disabled by default. Click the toggle beside the poll title to enable it.

You can enable polls before, or anytime during, the webinar. Once enabled, the poll is visible and answerable by the participants.

Pro tip: Keep your polls, offers, and handouts available on the replay by toggling them on before ending the session. Toggling them off won't show them in the replay.

You can click the clock icon to set a timer that automatically enables and displays the poll at a time of your choosing during the session.

Choose how long after the webinar start time you want the poll to appear, then click OK.

Once the poll is enabled, it will be labeled as LIVE. When a poll is Live, your students will be able to see and answer the poll.

You can add more polls by clicking Add New Poll.

You can edit your poll by clicking the Edit Poll icon.

You can delete your poll by clicking the Remove Poll icon.
