Problem with Polling Questions

Hello:

 

I have a number of Zoom Meetings (and Webinars) already created/scheduled. Ever since the new Survey & Polls upgrade, whenever I create polling questions in one of the meetings, the polling questions are populating in ALL of the meetings and webinars I've already created. How do I stop this from happening?

 

Each meeting/webinar needs to have a unique set of polling questions. I don't know why this is happening where I add a polling question to one of the meetings, it's showing up in all of the meetings. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi, We  are also facing the same issue and highly disappointed with this.  Either we should get an option to select polls from surveys which was already created, or we should be able to create poll only for particular webinar.

The new system is completely unusable. We have 25 upcoming webinars. Each one has 6 to 10 poll questions that are specific to each webinar.  That means under the new "improved" system we have 200 to 250 polls that the presenter has to sort through. Totally ridiculous. We can get by for a week or two since the polls migrated over for our next few webinars, but we're starting to migrate over to gotowebinar for future classes.

This is exactly my issue Nses. Zoom seem to have misunderstood the needs of their users who run multiple specific meetings/webinars with multiple poll questions. I am looking into using Microsoft Teams going forward as I suspect Zoom will not resolve this quickly enough for us, if at all!

Who is the support person that monitors the community?  Can you not see that lots of people are unhappy with the upgrade.  I have over a dozen templates with polls for webinars and they need to be specific to the webinar.  They are all messed up since the upgrade.

Just chiming in that I'm also very frustrated with this change. We run 5-7 educational programs a day and multiple have polls. This will become entirely unmanageable fast. We have had to start deleting polls out of programs so that presenters don't have to shuffle through a ton of polls that aren't for their program.

This is happening to me as well. I don't want the same polls for every meeting. Is there a way to keep the polls separated once they are created (like it used to be)?

Every time Zoom makes an "enhancement" it seems to make things worse.  Settings default back to the way they were and features change or are no longer available.  I have to wonder if the people behind these changes, even use Zoom at all.

Looks like there is a solution finally!!! 

 

There is a filter option now available once you have created your meeting. From there, you can select which polls you require for that meeting. I did a quick test and it works so hopefully this has solved all our issues!!!

It's not working.  Just tried it and only half of my polls show up in the filter and so i can't add polls from all of my existing polls.  Massively frustrating
