Using the Polling Pod
You use the Polling pod to create questions, or polls, for participants and to view the results.
Similar to the Note pod, polls are created by presenters for viewing by participants. Only
presenters control the management of polls and the display of polls to meeting participants, and
there is no limit on the number of answers. Presenters are allowed to cast votes as well.
