As a Moderator, you will generally create the majority of your Poll questions prior to your presentation. There will most likely be specific times during your presentation when you will want to Poll your audience. You might not want your audience to respond to every Poll as soon as they join your session. Our locking / unlocking functionality gives you total control over when a Poll is available for attendees to respond to.
Automated unlock and locking behavior
Manually lock a poll
All new Polls that you create will be locked by default. Locked Polls are not visible to your audience and they will not be able to respond to the Poll until you Unlock it.
Manually unlock a poll
To unlock a poll simply click on the Lock icon on the right side of the Poll.
Once you Unlock a Poll it will become visible to the audience, and they can respond to it by clicking on the Poll question on their device.
Automated unlock and locking behavior
While using live content slides, the poll questions will automatically unlock while the live content slide is displayed in PowerPoint, Keynote or PowerPoint for Mac, Google Slides, Presentation Mode, or Easy Presentation Mode.
When the poll question is no longer displayed, typically by advancing the slide deck or presentation mode forward, that poll question will be automatically re-locked so that audience members don't continue responding to a poll that you are no longer displaying on screen.

Polls Completed Indicator
Attendees in sessions with attendance tracking enabled will now see an indicator of how many polls they have completed. This will make it easier to track progress in sessions that use polls for attention checks.
