Web Conference Scheduling: Polling Options

Polling questions are questions that you can choose to ask of your meeting attendees during a live meeting. Polling questions can also be created during the meeting, but it is recommended that you try to create them ahead of time to avoid the distraction of creating them while the meeting is taking place.
