Poll

"Poll" lets the host set a question with 2–10 options; viewers vote by commenting the option's number, letter, or text, and the screen shows each option's share of votes live. When voting is done, the host manually taps a button to announce the correct answer. Great for quizzes and this-or-that questions.

What viewers see

The widget has three parts, top to bottom:

• Header: the question on the left; on the right a status pill (Getting ready / Voting / Paused / Tallying / Results) and a countdown. The countdown only appears when you've set a duration, and it freezes while paused.
• Option bars: one thick bar per option, with a letter badge (A–J) and the option name on the left. Bar length is the share of votes. The numbers on the right follow your "Result display" setting (percentage + votes, percentage only, or votes only). The Classic style gives each bar its own color; the six art styles use that style's own materials. With many options, text and bars shrink automatically so nothing is cut off.
• Bottom row: while voting is open it shows the letter tags A B C D… plus "Comment a code to vote" (the wording is customizable) and "N voted" on the right. Before the start it says "Voting starts soon"; paused and closed each have their own hint; once the answer is announced it reads "N votes total".
• After the answer is announced: the correct bar lights up with a 👑 crown and the others dim. If "Sort on reveal" is on, the options are re-ordered by votes.
• Before you press Start: the question and options are already drawn (with empty bars), so you can position the source frame first. If no options are filled in yet, you'll see four blank rows with just the A/B/C/D codes.

Set it up on the Audience Interaction page

This game isn't configured on the "Scoring Games" page — it's set up on the "Audience Interaction" page instead.

Choose original order, sorting on reveal, or live sorting by votes. New polls default to live sorting; existing preferences stay unchanged. Each option keeps its original voting code when it moves. The countdown turns red for the final 10 seconds and returns to its normal color when paused or ended.

1. Pick the Poll tool

   Go to "Audience Interaction" in the top navigation, then pick the "Poll" tab up top. From top to bottom the page has: art style, question, options, duration, result display, toggles, and on-screen text. Start by picking an art style at the top (Classic gives each option its own color; the other six use that style's materials).

2. Fill in the question and options

   Type the question (leave blank and the screen shows the default label "Poll"); add 2–10 options with "+ Add Option" / "Remove".

3. Set the duration

   Tap a shortcut (30 sec / 1 min / 2 min / 3 min / 5 min) or enter your own minutes and seconds. Leave it blank for unlimited; the host decides when to stop. If you do set a duration, voting closes automatically when time runs out — but the correct answer is not announced automatically; you still press "Set as Correct Answer" yourself.

4. Choose the “Result display”

   Decide what appears at the right end of each bar: "Percentage + votes" (default), "Percentage only", or "Votes only". Pick percentage only if you don't want exact counts to sway viewers.

5. (Optional) Allow revoting / sort by votes

   Turn on "Allow Revoting" so a viewer changing their comment to a different code moves their vote to the new option (without it, only their first vote counts). Turn on "Sort on reveal" and the options are re-ordered by votes once the answer is announced. "On-screen text and display" at the bottom lets you reword hints such as "Comment a code to vote".

6. Start the poll

   Save the settings to Home. To open voting, go to Home, select the Poll card and press Start Poll.

My settings

Each tool starts with one default setting. Existing custom settings stay available. Select a name under My settings, or use ＋ Add to create another, up to 20 per tool. The setting name is for you; Screen title is what viewers see.

Open More setting actions to Rename, Create a copy, or Manage settings. Delete only from management, then use Undo to restore a deleted setting. Keep at least one setting.

Choose Start blank or Start from a template when adding. A template creates a new setting and leaves your existing settings untouched. Dice and Poll start blank and have no template picker.

Edits save automatically when you leave the field. Check for Saved automatically before switching. If saving fails, use Retry; disconnected changes are not saved. Settings keep content and appearance, not votes, draw results, or history.

End the poll before switching or managing settings.

Running it live

Back on Home, tap the pinned "Poll" card and click "Start Poll" to kick it off. The poll panel on Home shows the status, question, countdown, and how many people have voted, with a ratio bar and vote count for each option.

While it's running you have a few buttons. "Pause" freezes the countdown where it is and ignores comments while paused; "Resume" continues from the frozen time, and votes already cast are kept. "End Poll" closes voting: the counts stay on screen but no new votes come in, so you can talk it through before announcing. If you set a duration, it also closes automatically when time is up.

Once voting has started, "Start Poll" tucks away (it's hidden while voting and while paused) — pressing it restarts the whole round and zeroes the votes, which is too easy to hit by accident next to "Resume". It comes back after the poll closes or the answer is announced so you can run another round with the same question. "Reset" asks you to confirm twice, then clears this round's votes.

Reset only clears the votes and results and returns the poll to not started; the question and options in the current setting stay. To start from an empty question, create a new blank setting. While a poll is running or paused, the art style and the board text are locked; change them after the poll ends.

Every option has its own "Set as Correct Answer" button, available while voting, while paused, and after it closes. The host picks it manually; the system does not decide on the highest vote count.

Common questions about this game

Q: How do viewers vote? A: No extra steps. Commenting the option's number (1–10), letter (A–J), or the option text itself counts as one vote.

Q: Can the same viewer vote twice? A: Not by default; only the first vote counts. With "Allow Revoting" on, commenting a different code moves their vote from the old option to the new one.

Q: Is the "correct answer" calculated by the system, or picked by the host? A: The host announces it manually with "Set as Correct Answer". The system doesn't pick the highest-voted option — even if one is ahead, it isn't marked as the winner until you press it.
