How to set up and use polls in Zoom

Created by Scott Wilson, Modified on Fri, 27 Feb at 3:29 PM by Scott Wilson

Zoom polls allow tutors to quickly gather responses from learners during a live online session. They provide an easy way to check understanding, collect opinions, and encourage interaction without requiring learners to speak. Polls help maintain engagement and give tutors immediate insight into learner knowledge and perspectives, supporting responsive and inclusive teaching. 


Why use polls?

  • They increase learner engagement by encouraging everyone to participate at the same time.
  • They provide instant feedback, helping tutors gauge understanding and adapt teaching accordingly.
  • They support inclusive participation, particularly for learners who may be less confident speaking in front of others.
