Session Polls is an easy-to-use polling feature that enables organizers and moderators to collect instant audience responses during a session. Session Polls help to boost engagement, provide session leaders with real-time insights, and support more interactive, dynamic sessions. 

Best practice examples of using Session Polls: 

• Session Organizers who want tools to drive structured participation and gather live insights.

• Moderators who need quick audience feedback to guide the session's direction.

• Attendees who benefit from interactive opportunities that make sessions more engaging and participatory.
