Polls are a great way to engage with your audience and learn about what matters to them. Another common use case is interest in a demo or equivalent outcome.
Depending on the type of event, polls can be left on for replay/on-demand attendee usage. Allowances and limitations for each are listed below so choose the best fit for your webinar run of show.
Live: Standard polls, quiz polls, CTA polls, polls on stage.
Simulive: Standard, quiz, and CTA polls (NOT polls on stage).
On-Demand: Standard or quiz CTA polls
Standard Polls
Use Polls to collect audience feedback during the event. Polls can be published immediately or saved ahead of time. Hosts can create Polls on the Polls tab by following these steps:
Select "Create new poll"
Add a poll question
Add poll options
Choose advanced settings
Decide if results should display when the poll is launched or when the Host closes the poll later.
Percentage of votes is shown by default. Toggle this option to show the number of votes instead.
Publish poll or Save for later
Once the poll is published attendees will see it in the Polls tab and the chat.
Attendees can choose one option and vote. Cose the poll to release results or just un-publish it to keep it private for post-event outreach.
Quiz Polls
Create a Quiz type poll to set a specific answer as the "right" one.
Select "Create new poll"
Click on the "Quiz Poll" heading
Add question and answer options
Set an answer as "correct answer"
Configure advanced settings as applicable:
Decide if results should display when the poll is launched or when the Host closes the poll later.

Polls on Stage
Polls on stage are the only type of poll that gets recorded as part of the webinar content and will show on replay as well.
To publish polls on stage, click on the three dots next to any published poll.
Select "Show on Stage" and you poll is now even more interactive. As people vote, the audience will be able to see the numbers change in real-time.
To remove the poll from the stage, simply click the X that appears when hovering over the stage. You can also unpublish from stage through the 3-dots area used earlier. Your view settings will determine how and where your poll appears on stage.
CTA Polls (a.k.a. Pop-Up Polls)
Build as poll as normal and either "Save for later" or Publish to show right away in the Polls tab. You can also push quiz polls as a poll popup!
In order to activate CTA polls, the poll must be published and not in "saved for later" or any other status.
Quick overview video
To show polls as a pop-up that'll accept votes right on the video landscape in which is appears, you can add the poll to Poll Popups from the 3 dots option or from the CTAs tab and applying the desired poll from the list.
To position where you want the poll to show up, use the desired option from "Size & Position" area in the CTA tab:
Note: CTAs including poll popups are NOT recorded on the webinar recording and therefore, won't be part of your replay either.
From the CTA tab, you can "turn on" the poll CTA for attendees to engage with.
When on stage, this is what it'll look like until voted on:
When attendees are done voting on a poll, they get a friendly message and an option to view results.
