Polls

Polls let you ask attendees a question during a session and watch the answers come in live. You build polls for a webinar, add the ones you need to each session and open them one at a time from the live control panel.

Access: admins and moderators can create, edit, generate and run polls. Everyone who can open the live control panel can see the live results and open the results window.

How polls are organized

• Each webinar has a poll library. Every poll you create is saved there.
• A session uses the polls assigned to it. Creating a poll from a session's control panel saves it to the library and assigns it to that session in one step.
• To reuse a poll in another session of the same webinar, assign it from the library. Polls aren't shared between webinars.
• Only one poll can be active at a time.

All poll work happens in the live control panel. In the Poll widget, click the list icon (Manage polls) to open the Manage Polls panel, which lists the session's polls with their status, type and results.

Create a poll

1. In Manage Polls, click Create Poll.
2. Enter the Question.
3. Choose the Type: Single choice or Multiple choice.
4. Fill in the options. A poll has 2 to 6 options: click + Add Option to add one and × to remove one.
5. Click Create.

Type	Attendees can pick
Single choice	One option.
Multiple choice	Any number of options.

The poll is added to the session as Inactive. Attendees don't see it until you activate it.

Generate polls with AI

AI can suggest polls that fit your webinar.

1. In Manage Polls, click Generate with AI.
2. Set the Number of polls, from 1 to 10.
3. Optionally, fill in Custom instructions (optional), for example the language, the tone or the topics to focus on.
4. Click the generate button, which shows the number you chose (for example Generate 3 polls).
5. Review the AI Suggestions. Click Create on the ones you want, or Create All. Click × to discard the rest.

Each suggestion has one question and 2 to 5 options, and the AI picks single or multiple choice for each. Suggestions aren't saved until you create them; created polls go to the library and are assigned to the session like any other.

The AI receives the webinar's title, description and type, your organization's name and your custom instructions. It receives nothing about your attendees.

Every run is listed under Generation History, with its status, your instructions, the token usage, the estimated cost and how long it took. Click a run to see the polls it suggested and create any of them later.

Reuse a poll from the library

1. In Manage Polls, click Library. It lists the webinar's polls that aren't assigned to this session yet.
2. Click Assign on the poll you want.

Edit or remove a poll

• To edit, click the pencil (Edit poll), change the question or the options (2 to 6) and click Save. The change applies to the library and to this session. Other sessions that already have the poll keep their earlier version. The type can't be changed.
• To remove a poll from this session, click the trash icon and confirm. The poll stays in the library. The votes it already received aren't deleted, so if you assign it again, those votes still count.

Polls can't be deleted from the library.

Change options before votes come in

Votes are stored by option position. If you remove or reorder options after people have voted, their votes move to whatever option now sits in that position. Fix typos at any time, but restructure a poll only before you open it.

Run a poll

1. Click Activate next to the poll in Manage Polls. When no poll is active, the Poll widget also shows a shortcut button with the start of the next poll's question.
2. Confirm.

The poll appears to attendees right away, and any other active poll is closed. The Poll widget shows a Live badge and each option's votes and percentage, updated as votes arrive, with the total number of votes.

To close the poll, click Deactivate poll (the red power button in the widget) or Deactivate in Manage Polls, and confirm. The poll disappears for attendees.

Opening and closing a poll posts a short message in the chat, which you can reword or turn off in Chat Announcements. When you open a poll while another one is active, the first one closes without a closing message.

Close polls before the session ends

A poll stays open until you close it, including during the replay. Replay viewers see an open poll and can vote in it.

What attendees see

When you activate a poll, attendees in the live room see a window over the chat with the question and the options:

• In a single-choice poll, tapping an option records the vote. Trimite selecția ("Submit selection") then shows the thank-you message.
• In a multiple-choice poll, attendees select their options, then tap Trimite selecția to submit them.
• After voting they see Mulțumim pentru votul tău! ("Thank you for your vote!") with the note Rezultatele se vor afișa în cadrul live-ului. ("Results will be shown during the live session.")

Attendees never see the results. If you want to share them, show them on your stream (see below).

Attendees can close the window without voting. It comes back if they reload the page or if you close and reopen the poll. While the poll is open, they can change their vote, and the results update. Banned attendees don't see polls; muted attendees can vote.

Show results on your stream

While a poll is active, click the external-link icon in the Poll widget (Open results in new window). A separate window opens with a Live poll badge, the question in large type and a bar for each option with its percentage and number of votes.

The window follows whichever poll is active: open the next poll and it switches over, close all polls and it shows "No active poll". Use it to screen-share the results into your broadcast. It's part of the dashboard, so it needs a signed-in team member's browser.

How percentages are calculated

Each option's percentage is its share of all votes cast. In a multiple-choice poll one attendee can cast several votes, so the percentages add up to 100% and the total counts selections, not people.

Where votes are used

• In the live control panel, an attendee's votes appear in their activity dialog (click their name in the chat, see See who's chatting).
• For attendees who consented to behavioral tracking, votes are recorded on their contact. You can build segments of people who picked a given option with the Poll Vote rule (Segments), and poll votes count toward the lead score.
