How to Create a Live Poll: Step-by-Step Guide

Live polls are one of the most effective ways to engage an audience. Here's how to create one that gets results.

Step 1: Choose Your Question Type

Most platforms offer multiple question types. The most common include multiple-choice (A/B/C/D), rating scales (1-5), open-text, and Yes/No. Pick the type that matches your goal.

Step 2: Craft Clear Questions

Keep questions concise and unambiguous. For example, instead of "How do you feel about the presentation?" ask "How engaging was today's presentation on a scale of 1-5?"

Step 3: Set Up Your Poll

Create a room on MeetingTok, select the poll feature, and enter your question and answer options. You can pre-create polls before your event or launch them on the fly.

Step 4: Launch During Your Presentation

Share your screen or QR code with the audience. They'll see the poll on their phones and can respond instantly. Results update in real time on the main screen.

Step 5: Discuss the Results

Use the poll results as a conversation starter. Show the live results, highlight surprising findings, and let the data guide your discussion.
