One Screen Is All You Need

‍

VPOLL is integrated into Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars through the Zoom App Marketplace. Assuming you have a VPOLL account, you can operate VPOLL directly from within Zoom!  Your participants no longer need two devices, one for Zoom and another for VPOLL, when attending a Zoom session.  Everything is conducted within the Zoom window.

Furthermore, you can still use VPOLL in a hybrid meeting environment.  Simply operate VPOLL in Zoom so that your Zoom attendees can participate.  Meanwhile, the in-person attendees can also log on to VPOLL as they would normally through the VPOLL website and all the question responses are tabulated together and shared with everyone.

Participant Access to VPOLL

After you invite your participants to access VPOLL, they must go through a couple of steps to provide permission to get the VPOLL app and then log on to VPOLL just as they would normally if they were going through the VPOLL website.

Step 1: Open the VPOLL App

A window pops up allowing participants to Open the VPOLL app.  There may or may not be some additional prompts to accept the terms of using the VPOLL app.  Please note that the invitation also appears in Zoom Chat automatically.

Step 2: Join VPOLL

Participants are then asked how they wish to join VPOLL.  They are to select the “Participant” option.

Step 3: Enter the Meeting Access Code, Login Criteria, and Select the Polling Session

At this point, these are the same log on procedures to access VPOLL as normal.
