Engage Audience

Instant audience feedback

Polling asks the audience a question during a live event and counts the answers as they arrive. Voting works at any audience size. It takes one tap, it needs no microphone and no camera, and it produces something the host can react to on air. The host chooses which polls run, when they open, and whether the audience sees the results.

Choosing the question type when creating a poll: Multiple choice, Radio, Open text, Rating, Survey and Call to action

Ask it, time it, and choose who sees the result

Multiple question types

Single choice, multiple choice, rating scales, open text that builds into a live word cloud, multi-question surveys and call-to-action popups.

Real-time results

The poll opens as a popup on the page the audience is already watching. Responses stream in live, and the host either shares the result with the audience or keeps it private.

Timed polls

A time limit and a countdown keep a vote from drifting, and close it when the segment moves on.

The bigger picture

Voting is one step on a wider scale. Videosync also takes written questions, runs a moderated chat, and lets an attendee raise a hand and speak in their own voice. The host decides how far any single event goes.

Questions about polls and voting

Does the audience see the results?

Only if the host shares them. Results stream in live either way, and the host decides per poll whether the audience sees them or whether they stay private.

Which question formats can a poll use?

Six: single choice, multiple choice, open text, rating, survey and call to action. Open text answers are rendered as a word cloud that updates live as they arrive, a rating runs on a 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 range, a survey asks several questions as one set, and a call to action shows the audience a popup with a message and a button.

Can we get the results out after the event?

Yes. Poll results can be downloaded for further analysis, or passed into a CRM or analytics tool.
