Poll is the simplest way to hear from a room without waiting for someone to raise their hand. Ask one multiple-choice question, and every phone in the audience becomes a voting device: the answers stack up live on the big screen as bars, a pie, or a donut. No app, no accounts, no friction between the question and the answer.

How Poll works

A live poll takes under thirty seconds to set up and runs entirely in the browser for your audience:

1. Type your question and add as many answer options as you need: text, images, or both.
2. Choose the chart shape and decide whether the room can pick one option or several.
3. Share the join code and every phone in the room becomes a voting device instantly.
4. The chart animates live as votes arrive; reveal, discuss, and move on when ready.

Best for

Any question that starts with "how many of you…" is a Poll waiting to happen:

• Teachers: gauge understanding mid-lesson, spark class debate, and give quiet students a voice.
• Corporate trainers: surface knowledge gaps in real time and pivot the session based on the data.
• HR & internal comms: collect honest sentiment in town halls that would never surface in a survey.
• Marketers & event hosts: open a webinar with a poll to break the ice and profile the audience.

Why teams love Poll

Poll is the most-used slide type in AhaSlides for a reason. It is the fastest path from question to answer:

• Real-time results: no waiting for survey responses; the chart moves as people vote.
• Any group size: works with five in a huddle or five thousand in a stadium without changes.
• Multiple chart types: bars, pie, or donut to match the story you want the data to tell.
• Anonymous by default: honest answers, especially on questions people would not say aloud.

Free to run as often as you like, and the single most versatile way to make a room feel heard.
