What does the audience see when you ask a poll?

Polls appear for the audience in the bottom right-hand corner of the auditorium as a pop-up window. If the poll is not required then the audience will have an option to skip the poll.

 

 

 

 

The audience member will be able to see the poll answer that they gave or if they skipped the poll.

 

 

 

 

 

When the results are shared to the audience, the attendee can see the results with only percentages and no number of those that answered.

 

 

 

 

 

If the pop-up box is mimimized and a new poll is asked to the audience then the minimized box will flash green. 

 

 

Once the pop-up box is open then new polls will show in green within this box, ready for attendees to answer.
