LivePolls feature blog image

Online meetings large and small are pretty much the norm these days. With so many meetings throughout the week, how do you know your audience is fully engaged in your presentation? How do you know if they’re learning something? More importantly, how can organizations fight online meeting fatigue while still staying productive? Whether it’s a room full of students, or an online training webinar, we’ve got a solution that rises to the challenge!

LivePolls by QuestionPro is a totally free user-friendly online polling tool that lets you conduct quick online quizzes, timed trivia, gather instant feedback, and show the results to participants in real time.

In a nutshell, LivePolls engages audience participants in three easy steps:
1. Questions appear on the presenter’s and respondents’ screen.
2. Respondents answer questions.
3. Everyone sees the same results and engage based on them.

To spice up your online meetings and increase audience engagement, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to QuestionPro LivePolls. No app downloads and quick turn-around on results guaranteed! Let’s dive right in.

Here are five important tips that will help you create, launch, and analyze LivePolls.

  1. Prior to launching the LivePolls, turn off the audience share screen, then launch LivePolls, and reshare screen for all to see the pin code. If you have a quiz then you will not want your audience to see the answers ahead of time.
  2. Decide how long you want participants to answer questions and set the timer before launching the LivePoll. Decide if you want to read questions and answers out loud.
  3. Practice practice practice! Learn how to juggle multiple meeting tools and presentation materials including LivePolls, Zoom, and Google slides.
  4. Introduce the audience to LivePolls early on so participants can prepare. If you are doing a webinar, let folks know there will be a quiz, trivia, or poll at the end of presentation and share the URL, questionpro.io, for audiences to type into their mobile phones or laptops.
  5. Make it fun! Add humor where applicable and comment on interesting Live Feed responses as they roll in.
