The basics

What a live poll is

A live poll is a question you put on a screen while people are in the room, or on the call. Everyone answers from their own phone, and the results update on the screen as each vote comes in. Nobody waits for a form to close or a spreadsheet to be counted. The room sees its answer form in real time, which is most of the fun.

People use live polls to warm up a meeting, check if a lesson landed, settle a team decision or get a crowd involved at an event. It takes about ten seconds to set one up with LivePoll, and it's free.

How it works

How a live poll works

  1. Write the question and the answers. Paste a whole list if you have one; each line becomes an answer, up to 20

  3. People scan or type the code on their phone. No app and no account
  4. Watch the bars move. Every vote lands on the screen within a second
  5. Close voting from your laptop or from your phone when you're done
