Webex - Using Polls

You can use a poll to get feedback from your attendees during a meeting.

If you're the meeting host, then you're also the polling administrator by default. As the host, you can make any attendee the polling administrator by making them presenter during the meeting. This can be useful when you want to delegate the responsibility of polling to someone else or when you leave a meeting.
