Using a poll on Zoom is one of the best ways to get feedback from your audience. In this article, we will walk you through how to create and use a poll on Zoom. The polling feature for meetings enables you to create questions about the meeting that can be asked of participants. These questions can then be launched during the meeting and collected by you or downloaded after the meeting. This allows you to gather feedback on topics discussed in the meeting, as well as measure how interested participants are in those topics. Polling also allows for anonymous responses, if desired.
