Multiple choice question type

Multiple choice questions help you run fast, interactive polls and quizzes during live sessions. In polls, multiple choice questions collect audience opinions across predefined options. In quizzes, they allow you to define correct answers and award points based on accuracy and response speed.
This format ensures clarity and reliability during real-time engagement.

Follow the steps below to create a multiple choice question:

1. Log in and open LivePolls
2. Go to your workspace — Personal or Team
3. Create a new poll or quiz using + New Poll, or open an existing one from the workspace list
4. In the poll or quiz editor, select + icon (Add question) to insert a new question
5. Choose Multiple choice as the question type
6. Enter your question text and add answer options
7. Use + icon to add more options to the selected multiple choice question card

Multiple-selection allows participants to choose more than one answer option.

To enable it, follow the steps below:

1. Open the question in the editor
2. Turn on the multiple selection toggle
3. Define which answer options are correct (for quizzes)

In quizzes:

• Creators can define multiple correct answers
• To earn points, participants must mark all correct answers. Partial correctness does not award points

To define the correct answer options for a quiz question, follow the steps below:

1. Open the question in the quiz editor
2. Use the checkboxes beside each answer option to mark which options are correct

You can select one or multiple correct answers, depending on whether multiple selection is enabled.

To apply difficulty levels and automatically adjust scoring, follow the steps below:

1. Open your quiz and go to the quiz editor
2. Enable the global difficulty levels toggle at the top of the editor to turn the feature on for the entire quiz
3. Once enabled, open any question card — you will see a difficulty level selector next to the multiple selection toggle
4. Use the per-question selector to choose a level: Easy, Normal, or Hard. The selected level applies the configured points for that question

The global toggle enables the feature for the quiz; each question’s difficulty and points are set individually inside the question card.

Follow the steps below to attach an image:

1. Click the image icon next to the question text field
2. Select an image from the media library or upload a new file
3. Click Save to add the image to the question

Only one image can be added per question.

• Question body: You can attach one image to the question itself.
• Answer options: Each answer option can also have one image.

This ensures a clean layout, fast loading for participants, and minimal visual clutter during live sessions. Multiple images in either place can slow down rendering and increase cognitive load.
