Online events and webinars poll ideas
Webinars and online events can be quite impersonal and difficult to interact with audiences. Oftentimes, the presenters don’t even get to see their audience members. Therefore, polls are a great way to connect with your audience and get valuable feedback. You can use polls to ask questions and gauge opinion, or to get ideas for your next presentation. Explore these poll questions for inspiration.
