What are surveys?


With the help of surveys, speakers can poll the participants live during the session or take votes.

- Answers with A / B / C / D

- Create your own survey


 

You can define your question, allow multiple selection, select the result display, edit the selection options and add new ones.

The results can be displayed in a bar chart or a Word Cloud.

Visibility


By ticking the "Show surveys in a pop-up window" box, participants in the Event Stage can view the survey in a pop-up window. If this function is deactivated, the surveys can only be viewed via the panel (left). This can also be opened or closed for all participants by the speaker using the three dots at the top right.


By ticking "Show vote count", participants can see the number of votes per answer choice after and during the survey in the session. If you do not tick the box, the number of votes will only be visible to speakers.
