Launching Polls in breakout rooms

I am working on an event in Zoom Webinar Plus. I want to be able to ask our breakout groups to participate in polls. I’m seeing polls in the main session area, but I cannot see them in the breakout rooms. Is there a way to add polls into breakout rooms? My event is this week and I need to find an answer to this asap. Thank you!

    hi ​@Rickjaycob ,

     

    hi ​@Rickjaycob 

    That is a really great idea. Not a simple answer for you. It is not possible at the moment. Heard suggestions it may come one day, but no date.
    I would suggest you do it this way. - which is how i get round it.

    Run a poll, then drop them into bkreaout rooms with a challange or acivity - then bring them back out for a poll and maybe summary or short chat, then put them back into breakout room groups again - or a new group.

    This is what I am doing and I think it is working well. I am also an app developer and will have a vewsion of running poll questions in breakout rooms, but it is in testing at the moment, so i can not share it with you.

    You are certainly right to look at such things, polls and breakout rooms are taking webinar experience to another level
     

    All the best
