Run a live poll
Last updated July 24, 2026
A live poll lets your audience vote and see results appear as an on-screen overlay. It is a good way to engage viewers during Q&A, giveaways, or product decisions.
Create a poll
- Enter Web Studio.
- Open the Polls panel (Live Polls) in the right-hand sidebar.
- Enter your question and two to four answer options.
- Click Launch poll to display the poll on stream immediately.
Display the poll
- Viewers vote by typing the option number (1, 2, 3, or 4) in live chat.
- Results update live on screen as votes come in.
End the poll
Click End poll when you are ready to finish the poll.
Tips
- Keep questions short and clear.
- Limit options to avoid decision fatigue.
- Use polls during natural breaks in your content.
Good to know: Poll results appear as an overlay burned into the broadcast, and viewers vote by typing the option number (1β4) in live chat.
