Get Started
The five steps to running a multiple choice poll:
- Click on ‘Create Your Poll Now!
- Enter your question (end it with a ‘?’).
- Enter up to four answers to your question for your audience to choose from.
- Save the link to your poll (do not loose this).
- Get live audience to their answer page using the QR code page or copying and sending them the public link.
Set a Question
Easy Audience Polls only supports multiple choice questions. Therefore the question needs to be written in such a way that you are asking them to pick an answer from a list of answers.
Click here to view the guidance on asking more than one question.
Set The Answers
Write your answers so that they cover the most common answers for your question. You can use a minimum of two answers.
Don’t Lose Your Poll
Unless you are going to run, and finish, your poll immediately, you will want to bookmark or save a link to your poll so that you don’t lose it. Use the link below your poll and follow the instructions. If you save a file, to your computer, make sure that you know where you saved it.
Your Poll Will Expire
Polls created on Easy Audience Polls will automatically expire and be deleted after 48 hours. So please create your poll close to the time of your presentation. Make a note of your question and answers if you think that you will need to repeat the poll later – when you can create the poll again.
Display the QR Code Question Page with Live Results, to your Audience
Click the link below your saved poll to open your Question Page (with QR Code and live results) in a new web browser tab or window that you can display to your audience. That page shows the question and answer options to you and your audience, complete with live updates to show the running totals. This page features bar graphs to show what proportion of your audience is selecting which answers.
Display Your Web Browser Full Screen
Want to loose your address bar, bookmarks and menu bar when you display the question to your audience?
Most web browsers have a full screen mode that can be activated, once you are ‘in’ your browser (click into it somewhere):
For Mac:
Press the Control + Command + F keys simultaneously.
For PC:
Press the F11 key.
Please note that these instructions are for most common web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. If you’re using a different browser, the steps might vary slightly.
Use the same keys to exit full screen mode (make sure that you are ‘in’ your browser by clicking in to it).
Display the QR Code Question Page with Live Results, in Powerpoint
You may find an ‘add in’ for Microsoft Powerpoint that will display a live web page within a PowerPoint presentation. If you use other presentations software you may find similar ways of embedding the Question Page (with QR code and live results) web page.
Send Your Internet Audience a Link to the Answer Page
Below your saved poll, you can see the URL to the answer page for your poll. The answer page is the page on which each of your audience members will submit their answer. Copy and paste the answer page URL into an email to your audience, or into your live chat or a text message or whatever you use to communicate to your audience. The messaging function in video conferencing systems like Zoom or Microsoft Teams can be used to send the URL to the answer page.
Your poll’s answer page URL will look something like this:
https://easyaudiencepolls.com/?a=k5a2x38d
Poll Your Live Stream Audience
If you wish to poll your YouTube live stream audience, for example, AND you want them to see your live results, then you will need to use a live stream software application like ‘OBS Studio’ which includes features to stream a browser window that is currently being displayed on your computer. You can live stream your Question Page (with QR code and live results) in this way.
Note that you can encourage your live stream audience to access your poll’s Answer Page (where they answer the question), by either displaying the Question Page (with QR code) to them in the live stream, and/or by sending them the Question Page URL (see the section above “Send Your Internet Audience a Link to the Answer Page”) in the chat for your live stream.
Ask Multiple Questions
You can create multiple new Questions in your web browser alongside each other. Each Question is a poll of its own, but you can create, edit and deploy each poll alongside any number of other polls in separate tabs in your web browser. Each poll is fully independent of the other polls that you create. Don’t forget to save a link to each poll (see ‘Don’t Lose Your Poll‘ above). Once you have created them, you can simply load up the Question Page (with QR Code and live results) for each poll in a separate web browser tab for display to your audience during your presentation.
Further Support
As this system is free to use and is extremely simple, there is no further support available to you. The health of the system is monitored to ensure, as much as possible, that it is working properly to meet your audience polling needs.
