Correct use of polling questions during a webcast

Using polling questions during your presentation can be a great way to add an interactive element to your webcast presentation and engage with your audience. There are however a couple of matters to consider and take care of when using a polling question.

You may want to start with a very simple polling question that doesn’t have a right or wrong answer. By means of this your audience can get used to voting for a polling question. They can see how the technology works and you can get them over the hurdle to vote, which also makes it easier for the next polling question that is part of the presentation. You want to make it “fun” for your audience to participate and avoid that they will ignore the questions and not participate.
