Run a live poll
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 in the right-hand sidebar.
- Click New Poll.
- Enter the question and two to four answer options.
- Save the poll.
Display the poll
- Click Show on Stream to make the poll overlay visible.
- Viewers vote through the chat or a poll link, depending on the platform.
- Results update live on screen as votes come in.
End the poll
Click Hide Poll or End Poll when you are ready to move on. The final results can stay on screen or be dismissed.
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. How viewers vote depends on each platform's chat or interaction features.
