Huddle polls allow meeting hosts and moderators to collect quick feedback from participants during a live video conference. Polling is useful for gathering opinions, confirming decisions, or keeping participants engaged without interrupting the meeting flow.

Create a poll draft before a meeting

You can prepare polls in advance using Huddle’s pre-lobby settings from the Sync desktop or web browser application.

1. Launch Huddle in the Sync app or open a Huddle browser tab.
2. Click the Settings (gear icon) to open the configuration menu.
3. Select the Draft Polls tab from the left-side navigation.
4. Click Open Poll Drafts to write and save your questions.

Create and launch a poll during a meeting

You can draft new polls or launch your saved drafts directly from the active meeting window.

1. Join a live Huddle meeting.
2. Click the Chat (messages) icon in the meeting toolbar to open the side panel.
3. Select the Polling tab.
4. Enter your poll question and add two or more response options.
5. Review your question and answers, then click Start poll to send it to all participants.

Upload polls via CSV

If you have multiple polls to run, you can upload them simultaneously using a .csv file during the meeting. You can upload up to 50 polls at once.

1. Open the Polling tab during a live meeting.
2. Click the More options (three dots) menu in the bottom right corner of the polls window.
3. Select Upload and send polls.
4. Choose your .csv file and upload it.

The uploaded poll questions will appear immediately and can be launched when you are ready.

CSV file structure

Your upload file must follow a specific structure to format correctly. The first row must contain column headers, and each subsequent row represents one poll with at least two response options. Blank option fields are allowed.

Format: Poll Question,Option 1,Option 2,Option 3,Option 4

Examples:

• How satisfied are you with today's meeting?,Very satisfied,Satisfied,Neutral,Unsatisfied
• What time works best for team sync?,Morning,Midday,Afternoon,End of Day
• Do you prefer video or audio meetings?,Video,Audio,No Preference,

Participate and view results

When a poll is active, participants can view the question and select a response without needing to speak or type in the chat. Participants can also change their vote after submitting.

Results update in real time as participants submit their responses. Hosts and moderators can review these responses immediately, and the results remain visible to the room until the poll is closed.

Save poll results as a file

You can export the results of your completed polls for your records.

1. From the Polling tab during a live Huddle, click the More options (three dots) menu in the bottom right.
2. Select Save polls as a file.

A .txt file containing the tabulated results will automatically download to your computer (typically to your Downloads folder).
