Use polling in V.connct Classroom

Presenters in V.connct can initiate polls throughout the live session; users can reply when prompted and contribute to the poll.

- As a presenter, you can use polling to engage students, perform test/exam reviews or pop quizzes, or use polling informally to collect information about your users:

1. To start a poll.

2. Using a custom poll.

3. Using smart slides/Quick poll. 

Note: By default, the first Moderator to enter the V.connct session is allocated the presenter role capabilities; if you are a viewer you will need to request presenter status from the moderator. 

- When a user has the presenter role, the presenter icon will appear over their avatar in the users' list.
