Launching Polls During a Zoom Meeting

 

  • Polls are not immediately available to meeting participants, as the host needs to launch a poll for participants to respond to. These polls can be created before the meeting starts, or during a live session, but in either case, poll must be created in the web portal.  To see instructions on how to create a poll, please click here.
    • Start the scheduled Zoom meeting that has polling enabled.
  • In the meeting controls, click the Polls button.

  • At the top of the polling window, select the poll you would like to launch (if multiple polls were created)
  • Click Launch.

  • The participants in the meeting will now be prompted to answer the polling questions. The host will be able to see the results live.
  • Once you would like to stop the poll, click End Poll.

  • Click thebutton to access the following options:
  • Re-launch Poll: Launches the poll again. 
  • Note: If a poll is relaunched in a meeting, the poll report will only display the last poll occurrence. If you know you will need to launch the same poll twice and want both sets of data, consider creating a second poll with the same questions as the original to avoid relaunching. 
  • Download results: This will launch your default web browser so that you can download the entire poll report, which shows what each participant chose, instead of the percentages of each choice.
    Note: If you do not have this option, contact Zoom Technical Support to request this feature be enabled.
  • View Results from Browser: Launches your default web browser and displays the same polling results in the web page. 
  • Click Share Results to share the results to the participants in the meeting.
