The Web Meet Live Polling feature allows presenters to ask multiple choice questions and display the results to the room.

Initiate a poll by pulling down the Moderator menu and selecting New Poll:

The Poll editor window will appear.  Select New Poll and enter a new question and up to 5 answers, or choose a previously entered poll question from the drop down list.

All poll questions are single answer multiple-choice.  True/False or Yes/No type questions can be constructed by providing just two answers.

Click Begin Poll to send the question out to the room:

The poll sponsor sees a dynamic view of the poll results as each participant votes.  Each answer shows the number and percentage of votes, along with the name of each participant who has chosen that answer:

The poll sponsor’s participant display shows a question mark next to participants who have not voted yet:

The participants in the room are shown a simple view containing the question and the available answers:

After voting, participants see a static view of their vote until the sponsor closes the poll:

When the poll sponsor closes voting by clicking on Show Results, all participants see a simplified view of the poll results as shown below.  Participants can see the percentage of votes for each answer, but not the actual number of votes or the names of participants voting for each answer.

The poll sponsor may also close the poll without showing the poll results to the web conference room guests.

When recording a session, the guest view of the poll questions and results is shown in the recorded archive.
