Polls can be created in your InEvent Webinar. The main purpose is to increase the interaction of users in the InEvent Webinar.
This feature allows you to:
- Create personalized polls
- Enable or disable the poll whenever you would like
- Visualize and control your attendees' answers
How do I enable the Polling function?
Whenever you want to post a poll to your InEvent Webinar, the Polling tool must be activated.
To do this click on Settings > Tools > Edit > scroll down until you see the Live category and enable the Polling option.
If instead of seeing a checkbox, you see Click, you will need to enable this feature in the company tools.
To do so, simply press Click and a new tab will automatically open on the company tools page. Then, scroll down until you see the Live section, press Edit, and make sure the Polling checkbox is checked. Press End to save the changes.
