Polls

Engage your community with interactive polls. Gather opinions, let viewers vote on upcoming content, or add an interactive element to your channel.

Overview

Polls are a lightweight engagement tool that lets you ask your audience a question with multiple answer options. Viewers vote directly from your channel, and results update in real time.

Use cases

  • Content planning — Let viewers vote on what you should create next
  • Community feedback — Gather opinions on features, topics, or events
  • Live interaction — Run quick polls during livestreams for real-time engagement
  • Fun and engagement — Trivia, preferences, or "this or that" questions to keep your community active

Where to find it

In the left navigation, open Content, then the Polls tab. Stats: Total Polls, Active Polls, Total Votes, Average Votes. Use Search by title, Filters, List / Cards view, and + Poll to create. The empty state says: “No polls yet. Create your first poll to engage your audience.”

Creating a poll

  1. In Content → Polls, click + Poll to open Create New Poll.
  2. In Poll details: set Title (required), Allow multiple votes (toggle), Result visibility (Show before voting / Show after voting / Show after poll closes), and Tags.
  3. In Poll options: set Question (required), optional Description, and Option 1, Option 2 (required); use Add another input for more options.
  4. In Settings: set Publish status (Draft, Active, Closed, Unlisted), Visibility (which audiences see the poll), and Access gate (who can access).
  5. Use the Vote view / Results view preview and Styling (gradient theme, colors, result bar color) to customize appearance.
  6. Save to publish.

Managing polls

Editing

You can edit a poll's question or options before anyone has voted. Once votes have been cast, you can still close the poll early or extend its duration.

Closing and archiving

When a poll ends (or you close it manually), the final results are locked. Closed polls remain visible on your channel as archived content with their final results displayed.

Best practices

  1. Keep it simple — Clear, concise questions with distinct answer options work best
  2. Limit options — 2–5 answer choices keeps voting quick and decisive
  3. Set a deadline — Time-limited polls create urgency and drive participation
  4. Share results — Follow up with content based on the winning vote to show viewers their voice matters
  5. Pair with content — Use poll results to guide your next video, livestream, or course topic
