Polls and Q&As
Overview
SPS is participating in the Google Meet Early Access program. This means that we are beta testing new features.
Create Q&A in Meet on Web Browsers
Engage participants in meetings by allowing them to ask and upvote questions. Participant Q&A is also great for large meetings when you want to limit interruptions but still want participation from the group.
To use the Q&A feature (available to all meeting participants in the meeting), click the Meeting Tools icon in the top right corner of your meeting.
Select "Q&A"
If you are the moderator of the meeting, you must toggle "Allow questions" on to allow participants to ask questions in the meeting. This option is available in the Q&A panel. Note that by default, question submission will be disabled.
Participants can click "Ask a question", type the question, upvote questions, and click “Post”.
Moderators will be able to mark a question as answered, hide or delete a question.
Following the meeting, if the Q&A feature was used, Moderators will receive an email linking to a Sheet with all Q&A data.
Create Polls in Meet on Web Browsers
Engage participants in large meetings with real-time polling. Polling is a simple way to gather data from your audience and share results.
To create a poll (note: only available to meeting moderators), click the Meeting Tools icon in the top right corner of your meeting.
Select "Polls" and click "Start a Poll" to populate the fields with a polling question and multiple choice answers.
Once you've finished your poll, you can either Save it (to launch later) or press Launch to post immediately.
Once you've launched your poll, you can choose if you'd like everyone in the meeting to see the results or only allow the moderator to see the results.
Following the meeting, if the feature was used, moderators will receive an email linking to a Sheet with all polling data.
