Live Polling
Live polls can help to increase interactions with your live viewers and also lets you discover their interests or expectations towards your products.
You can start polling questions at any time during your live show, and restart the same questions to ensure you get the maximum number of responses during the live show. Create your polling questions on the CMS before the live show, and use them again and again across your live shows.
Creating a live poll
To create a live poll, click on Engagement Tools and Polling. Click on Create Polling, where you will create a set of questions and answers.
Input poll title
This is for your own reference to the set of questions and answers and will not be shown to viewers.
Enter question and option answers
Every question requires 2-4 options for answers.
Starting a live poll
During your live show, you can choose to start any poll questions, one at a time. Click on Interactivity in the Admin Watch screen and select Polling to view all your created polls.
To start a poll, click on the Play button. A timer will start so you can measure how long the question has been running for. When viewers answer the poll, you will be able to view the results instantly. You can choose to publish the results to the poll question after stopping the poll by clicking on the Stop button.
Live poll archive
After ending and saving the live show, the live poll analytics will be shown in the archives for you to revisit. You can export the polling results into a spreadsheet.
Live Polling vs Live Quiz
Live polling and live quizzes have several differences:
| Live Polling | Live Quizzes |
|---|---|
| Does not require you to select a correct answer | Requires you to select which option should be the correct answer |
| You can start or stop specific questions independently | When you start a quiz, it will run through the entire course of questions and answers itself. |
| Does not require duration configuration, but will require you to start and stop manually | Requires duration configurations (i.e question duration, answer duration, interval duration) |
