Polls

Polls in Zuddl convert silent spectators into active participants and give organizers instant, quantifiable insight into audience sentiment. Zuddl polls are native to every venue—stage, breakout room, webinar, or expo booth—so they inherit your branding, obey role-based permissions, and feed engagement analytics the moment a vote is cast.

Context-aware creation

In the dashboard, from advanced stage settings of rooms, expo, or session under Virtual Setup, an organizer toggles on Polls, making the feature available only in that session and avoiding clutter elsewhere. Webinar hosts enable the same switch under Engagement, while booth owners flip it inside the booth-customization panel.

Save drafts

Poll questions can be written and saved as drafts long before show day, either by event organizers or, through the speaker portal, delegated to presenters themselves. Pre-loading removes the scramble to type questions backstage and ensures legal or brand compliance reviews happen ahead of time.

Launch & pin

During the live session, a moderator opens the Engage sidebar, selects a draft, and clicks Launch; attendees receive an in-venue pop-up and a side-panel tab update simultaneously. For maximum visibility, moderators can Pin to Stream, overlaying the poll on the video feed so voters do not need to hunt for the sidebar. Pinning is invaluable when attendees are on mobile or multitasking in other browser tabs; a fintech webinar saw response rates climb from 48 % to 71 % once questions were pinned.

Single- and multi-choice modes

Single-select (radio-button) is ideal for sentiment checks—“Which roadmap item excites you most?” Whereas multi-select captures broader preference sets—“Which two features would you pilot this quarter?” The ability to limit selections keeps data clean; marketers can segment follow-up emails by the one feature each lead cared about rather than guessing from open text.

​

Real-time results & moderation

Votes are tallied in real time on both presenter and attendee views, but moderators can hide results until a reveal moment to prevent bias or groupthink. Hidden mode shines in competitive quizzes or compliance-sensitive environments where early results might skew later answers.

​

Booth-level qualification

Expo booths can run product-specific polls (“Would you like a pricing call next week?”). Because booth chat, scans, and polls feed a single lead record, exhibitors filter hot prospects before downloading the post-show CSV.

​

Multi-language & accessibility

Poll text supports UTF-8 characters, so organizers can localize questions without creating separate sessions. Screen-reader labels and keyboard-friendly navigation keep voting inclusive, satisfying accessibility policies.

​

Offline mode

If individual attendees lose connectivity, the side-panel caches the last state and syncs votes once the connection is restored, avoiding frustration in congested conference Wi-Fi zones.
