Features


Sharing Your Screen or Application

Click on Share in your meeting and select the screen or application you would like to share. If you are a participant in a meeting and cannot share your screen, the host may have disabled this feature for participants. Learn more about sharing your screen. 

Polling

Zoom allows you to create single choice, multiple choice, or advanced polling questions such as matching, ranked choice, short answer, and long answer options. You will be able to launch the poll during your meeting; gather responses from attendees; and, if desired, download a report of polling after the meeting. Polls can also be conducted anonymously.
