When a poll closes, results automatically display to participants unless real-time results are disabled.

4. Managing Q&A in Teams

The Q&A tab in the side panel allows you to manage questions and comments during your meeting. Anonymous participation encourages more honest and frequent engagement.

You can:

• Turn moderation on/off
• Add labels or make announcements
• Sort messages by most liked, newest, or oldest
• Reply or archive messages directly from the admin view

5. What participants see

Once participants click the Vevox tab of the meeting they’ll see the Vevox app appear in their Teams side panel.

From here, they can:

• Vote in polls
• Contribute to Q&A
• Complete surveys or quizzes

Alternatively, they can join via vevox.app on any device using the 9-digit session ID.

6. Testing your Teams meeting

Once your meeting has Vevox added and your session contains polls/quizzes/surveys or Q&A, you can preview  and test it. From the Teams calendar, open the meeting, click Join and select the Vevox icon. The admin view will appear in the side panel so you can preview all controls. Now change to the participant view to test some polls. (Open & close the polls from the Vevox dashboard so you can use the participant view in Teams to answer your polls). 

Remember to clear your test results in the dashboard before your actual meeting and then switch your view back to admin.

7. Replacing or removing a session

Replace a session:

• In the Vevox side panel, click the three dots> Settings, then select a new session.

Remove Vevox from your meeting:

• Edit the meeting, open the Vevox tab dropdown and select ‘Remove’.
