3. Click on 'Session' from the left hand menu. 4. Enable the poll module by ticking the box and saving the changes.

In the virtual environment

The 'Poll' tab is displayed on the right side in sessions.

Editing and deleting polls

Each poll has four options displayed when clicking the three dots in the bottom-right corner for each poll:

- Edit poll: Click here to make adjustments to the selected poll. - Show results for audience: Click here to show the results of the selected poll to all attendees. - Export results: Click here to export the results of the selected poll as PDF or Excel. - Remove poll: Click here to remove the poll altogether.

The result

Select a poll and click 'Start poll' to start the poll. A pop-up with the question and options will be displayed on the right side of the session. The status of the poll will change to 'now live!'.

When the poll is stopped, the status of the poll will change to 'completed'. Completed polls can be restarted by clicking the 'Start poll' button.

Note: One poll can be active at the time. The live poll will be stopped when another poll is started.

Users cannot change their vote once they have submitted their initial vote.
