Polls in Meetings for phone-in participants

Designing my first single-choice poll for a meeting I am to host.  

 

Meeting will have at least two participants who will be phoning in.  What audio sequence will the phone-in participants hear when the poll is launched (I want to be able to brief them in advance)?

Hello,

 

Currently, polling is only available on the desktop app, web client, or mobile app. Users who call into a meeting via phone will not have access to participate in any polling. You can find out more information about this feature here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0066150

 

You can also see this confirmation from another community post: https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/Voting-in-a-poll-by-phone/m-p/12418/highlight/true#M5605 

 

I hope this helps and if so please mark this comment as the solution!

 

Thank you,

Understood.  Not the answer I wanted, but so be it.  Will have to find another way of doing a secret ballot of all the participants in the meeting.  Can't poll some and not others....😥
