The Zoom host has to launch a poll before participants can respond to it. This has to happen inside the Zoom session. You could run polls on a separate tool such as Slido ahead of your session. We hope this helps!
Thanks for your question! From a best practice perspective, restricting polls to 10 choices makes sense. Often, time is limited during a call or webinar. If the moderator reads out the options, or they give the audience enough time to read (and digest) more than 10 options themselves, it can make the poll quite lengthy. In most cases, this would not create a good audience experience. You might even say that the poll (which is there for audience engagement) would actually disengage the audience. An alternative would be to split a poll that requires more than 10 choices into two separate polls (wherever possible) and use it an an opportunity to engage the audience again at a later point.
Looks like it's available only for premium users, isn't it?
Hi, is there any way to schedule polls in Zoom beforehand? I want that people have to answer before joining the webinar.

The worst part is, the options are limited to 10 choices please let me know what can be done ?
