# How to manage polls in real time?

## Live Polls are an effective tool for engaging the audience and obtaining real-time feedback, allowing results to be displayed instantly and encouraging more dynamic participation during any event.

 

**NOTE 🗒️:** Remember to take a look at this article, which explains the process of creating a poll **+info**👉[What is the Live Polls section?](https://help.meetmaps.com/en/what-is-the-polls-section?hsLang=en)

### Configuration

1\. In **App & Web \> Live Polls**, select the agenda session you wish to vote on.

![Screenshot\_25-11-2025\_1630\_admin.meetmaps.com](https://help.meetmaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_25-11-2025_1630_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg?width=670&height=313&name=Screenshot_25-11-2025_1630_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg)

2\. Alternatively, you can create the poll session from this same section:

![Screenshot\_25-11-2025\_1641\_admin.meetmaps.com](https://help.meetmaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_25-11-2025_1641_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg?width=670&height=312&name=Screenshot_25-11-2025_1641_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg)

 3\. Once you have created the session using the icons on the right, you can:

- **Play ▶️**Highlight a poll among the others
- **Eye 👁️**Make the poll visible
- **Three columns 📊**Show results after voting
- **Lock 🔒**Close poll to the public
- **Three little dots:** Archive, edit, or delete a poll
- **Six little dots:** If you have more than one poll, you can rearrange their order

![Screenshot\_25-11-2025\_16730\_admin.meetmaps.com](https://help.meetmaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_25-11-2025_16730_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg?width=670&height=312&name=Screenshot_25-11-2025_16730_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg)

**NOTE🗒️:** You can only highlight one poll at a time. If you click the **"Play"** button for another poll, the previous one will go into the background and the new one will be highlighted.

![Screenshot\_25-11-2025\_16833\_admin.meetmaps.com](https://help.meetmaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_25-11-2025_16833_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg?width=670&height=309&name=Screenshot_25-11-2025_16833_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg)  
You cannot change the order of the polls that appear on the screen, so the option to highlight a poll is convenient.

4\. To archive a vote, click on the **three dots** and select **"Archive"**.

5.To unarchive a poll, click the icon of the upwards arrow.

![Screenshot\_25-11-2025\_161312\_admin.meetmaps.com-1](https://help.meetmaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_25-11-2025_161312_admin.meetmaps.com-1.jpeg?width=670&height=313&name=Screenshot_25-11-2025_161312_admin.meetmaps.com-1.jpeg)

### Live Poll Transmission

The polls and the responses submitted on these can be broadcasted live by the audiovisual team to a larger screen.

1\. Click on the **"mini tv"** button.

![Screenshot\_25-11-2025\_161720\_admin.meetmaps.com](https://help.meetmaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_25-11-2025_161720_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg?width=670&height=309&name=Screenshot_25-11-2025_161720_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg)

2\. This opens the page with the poll URL. If needed, copy this link and send it to the people you need.

![Sin título-Nov-25-2025-03-20-20-3390-PM](https://help.meetmaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sin%20t%C3%ADtulo-Nov-25-2025-03-20-20-3390-PM.png?width=670&height=342&name=Sin%20t%C3%ADtulo-Nov-25-2025-03-20-20-3390-PM.png)

**IMPORTANT ❗**By default the broadcast screen is in **Spanish**, but if you want to change the language and have it in English, you must add this tag to the generated URL: **?hl=en**. In case you want to have it in Catalan: **?hl=ca**

**![Screenshot\_25-11-2025\_162252\_admin.meetmaps.com](https://help.meetmaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_25-11-2025_162252_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg?width=670&height=354&name=Screenshot_25-11-2025_162252_admin.meetmaps.com.jpeg)**
