Instant audience feedback
Polling asks the audience a question during a live event and turns the answers into a result everyone can see, while the event is still running. Voting is the one form of participation that works at any audience size: it takes one tap, it needs no microphone and no camera, and it produces something the host can react to on air. The host chooses which polls run, when they open, and whether the audience sees the results.
Polls that drive engagement
Multiple question types
Single choice, multiple choice, word clouds and rating scales, so the format fits the question instead of the other way round.
Real-time results
Responses stream in live, and the host either shares the result with the audience instantly or keeps it private.
Timed polls
A time limit and a countdown keep a vote from drifting, and close it cleanly when the segment moves on.
Export data
Poll results download for further analysis, or go into a CRM or analytics tool.
The right format for every question
Polling adapts to the kind of question you're asking, and the choice of format is usually the choice of what the answer is for:
Single choice
One answer from multiple options
Multiple choice
Select all that apply
Word cloud
Open-ended responses visualized as they arrive
Rating scale
A 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 rating
The bigger picture
Voting is one step on a wider scale. Videosync also takes written questions, runs a moderated chat, and lets an attendee raise a hand and speak in their own voice, and the host decides how far any single event goes.

Does the audience see the results?
Only if the host shares them. Results stream in live either way, and the host decides per poll whether the audience sees them or whether they stay private.
Which question formats can a poll use?
Single choice, multiple choice, word cloud and rating scale. A word cloud takes open-ended answers and visualizes them, and a rating scale runs on a 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 range.
Can we get the results out after the event?
Yes. Poll results can be downloaded for further analysis, or passed into a CRM or analytics tool.
