Pre-populating Polls in Zoom

Summary

This article provides step by step instructions on how to conduct polls during a ZOOM meeting.

Body

Overview

Polls are available for Hosts only. While running a Zoom meeting, Hosts will notice the Polls icon when hovering their mouse at bottom of the screen.

In some instances, Hosts may want to set up polls in advance. Please note that for some users, it may be necessary to run a poll in a meeting you host first before you can set up polls in future meetings. Please be sure you have run a poll at least once in a meeting you have hosted if you don’t see polling features in Zoom as described below.  Once you have run your first poll, follow these steps to set up polls in advance.

Step by Step Guide

1.  Go to blinn-edu.zoom.us and click “Sign in.”

2.  On your upcoming meetings, do not click “Edit.” Instead, click the name of the meeting itself.

3.  At the bottom of this screen, you will see the Add Polls button. Click it to set up polls in advance.
