How to Create Polls in Zoom Meetings

Creating polls is a great way to gather feedback from your zoom meeting attendees. With Zoom, you can create multiple-choice or single-response surveys and even view the results live. Learn how to create polls for zoomed meetings.

Before you start, you need to create some zoom meeting polls. First of all, you (the host) must be a licensed user. Second, you can only create polls for scheduled meetings or for individual meetings using your Personal Meeting ID (PMI).

For security reasons, we recommend that you only use your PMI for personal meetings, eg. B. for gatherings with friends and family.
