Use of the below information will assist event hosts and presenters in potentially increasing engagement, participation, learning outcome(s) adaptation, and in class assessment opportunities for the participants. This 'objective view' of participant comprehension can provide a more relevant reference in determining which material should be presented next. Hosts and co-hosts may launch polls during Zoom Meeting or Zoom Webinar events.
While there are many 3rd party Polling software packages available that can be utilized concurrently with a Zoom Meeting, the Zoom polling tools allows for an integrated experience during a live event. This integrated use decreased the amount of required bandwidth necessary to conduct the polling exercise, as well as allowing ease of use for the presenter.

Basic Polling:
The account owner must create polls prior to starting the event, or via a discrete Zoom web browser session once the meeting has started. Polls allow the host to:
Create single choice or multiple choice polling questions before starting the meeting.
Launch the poll during the meeting and gather the responses from participants or attendees.
The ability to also create a poll by clicking Polling during the meeting. This will open up the hosts default web browser for poll management (add additional polls or questions.)
Download a report of polling after the meeting. Polls can also be conducted anonymously, if you do not wish to collect participant information with the poll results.
