When collecting responses from your audience, you can use two methods:
1. Live Polling
Polling is used in a live setting, whether at an in-person event or an online/hybrid meeting. The presenter controls the pacing, asking questions in real-time while participants respond in a browser on their devices. Polling results are displayed via Present view (Vevox’s built-in display) or PowerPoint/ Teams/Zoom (using the Vevox add-ins).
2. Surveys
Surveys allow participants to answer questions at their own pace, anytime—no live session needed. Simply share a survey link, and responses will be captured in the reporting tool. Unlike polling, surveys do not require a live display like Present view or PowerPoint/Teams/Zoom.
Key Features
Both live polling and surveys support multiple-choice, numeric, text, star rating, ranking, matching, rating scale, LaTeX, and image-based questions. However, word cloud, XY plot, demographic polling and before and after comparison questions, quick polls and spin the wheel are exclusive to live polling.
-
Surveys are the best option if you want participants to complete questions independently without waiting for the host to move to the next poll.
-
They are housed in a separate tab in the app, allowing you to ask self-paced questionnaires or quizzes.
-
A survey also generates
a separate sheet for
survey reporting
in the data report.
-
Note that you cannot add a survey to PPT, as PPT is used in 'live voting'. There is no print view of a survey.
