How to launch a
poll in a 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, the poll must be created
in the web portal.
1.
Start the scheduled Zoom meeting that has polling enabled.
2.
In the meeting controls, click the Polls 
button.
3.
At the top of the polling window, select the poll you would like
to launch (if multiple polls were created)
4.
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.
5.
Once you would like to stop the poll, click End Poll.
6.
Click the 
button to access the following options:
a.
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.
b.
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.
View Results from Browser: Launches your default web browser and
displays the same polling results on the web page.
7.
Click Share Results to share the results with the participants
in the meeting.
