Poll pod

Last updated on Aug 6, 2024

Learn how to use the Poll pod during Adobe Connect to collaborate more effectively in virtual meetings and remote sessions.

The Polls Pod in Adobe Connect is a dynamic tool designed to engage participants and collect feedback during meetings or webinars. It allows hosts to create multiple-choice, multiple-answer, or short-answer polls. Participants can respond in real time, and results can be shared instantly with the group.

Hosts and presenters can use the Poll pod to create questions or polls for participants and view the results. Only hosts and presenters can control poll management and how polls appear to meeting participants. Hosts can also cast votes.

Polls are useful during a meeting if you want instant feedback on what is being presented. Polls can also be used at the end of a meeting to find out if participants felt the meeting, content, and presenters were high quality.

Note:

Adobe Connect administrators can change pod, sharing, and other settings to adhere to governance standards. These settings affect the layout of meeting rooms and what can be done in them. For more information, view Working with compliance and control settings.
