How do I use the poll feature in a Zoom meeting?

Zoom offers a poll feature that allows you to create and launch polls during a meeting. Polls can be used to gather feedback, take attendance, or engage participants in the meeting.

To create a poll in a Zoom meeting, follow these steps:

1. Start a Zoom meeting and click on the 'Polls' icon in the meeting controls.

3. Enter a poll question and add the answer options.
4. Click on the 'Save' button to save the poll.
5. When you're ready to launch the poll, click on the 'Launch Poll' button.

Participants in the meeting will receive a notification that a poll is available, and they can click on the 'Polls' icon in their Zoom controls to participate. After the poll is closed, you can view the results and share them with the participants.
