What are surveys?
With the help of surveys, speakers can poll the participants live during the session or take votes.
Documentation for Participants and Speakers
You are in the documentation of the ORGANIZER features in the backstage, accordingly the participant and speaker functions are not documented here.

Survey Configuration
In the settings, you as the organizer have the option of configuring surveys for your events and individual breakout sessions.
In Backstage, click on "Edit Event" and select "Main session settings" in the navigation bar that opens.
Here you configure the lobby area of the session, i.e. session type and interaction options.
Under the item "Interaction", you can configure the surveys.
Enable Surveys
By ticking "Survey active", you enable surveys in the lobby area of your event and then have further setting options in the backstage.
If you disable the surveys in the backstage, these further settings remain hidden.

Configuring Surveys in (breakout) sessions
The survey function can be configured not only in the main session (lobby), but also in the individual sessions.
To activate the survey function in a (breakout) session, click on "Agenda and Sessions" in the navigation bar in the backstage to create and edit sessions.
To enable surveys in a session, click on the "pencil icon" (edit) next to the session.
This opens the "Edit session" window. In the session you can choose the session type, the permissions for participants and the interaction settings for this respective session can be set here again individually.
Under the item "Interaction" you can - as before in the lobby - activate the surveys and set the visibility of the number of votes.
