Voting

With Conferencing Center's Web Client, voting on questions posed by the conference host can take place in real-time. Voting is only available if the host initiates it by entering the voting questions.

Voting Questions

Only the host can enter questions for voting. Voting questions must be in a yes/no format.

To broadcast a voting question:

1. Enter the voting question (up to 512 characters) into the Vote Question text box towards the bottom of the Web Client window.

2. Click Send. It takes a few seconds for the question to be broadcasted to all conference participants. When the question appears in the larger text box, then the question has been broadcasted. All other participants can now see the voting question in the text box at the bottom of their Web Client screen.

3. Once all votes have been cast, repeat steps 1 and 2 to enter the next voting question.

Voting Options

When the question is broadcasted, participants then have the option to cast their votes.  

Voting options are:

• No

• Yes

• Abstain

• No Vote

To cast your vote, do the following:

1. When the voting question appears in the text box, select the drop down menu under Vote and highlight your voting option.

2. Click button.
