Engaging your audience with custom polls tailored to your event's content can enhance participation and interaction. The Polls tab within the activity panel is enabled by default. However, you can disable it if doesn't fit your event needs. This guide explains how to disable the Polls tab across all sections at once in the Event Dashboard and how to disable it within specific areas in the event venue.
Disabling polls through the Event Dashboard
-
In a multi-track event event, you can disable the Polls tab in the event-wide activity panel as well in the activity panels of all of your Stages, Sessions, and/or Expo Booths:
- Go to Event Dashboard > Venue > Venue Controls (or Event Dashboard > Setup > Access and settings for Onsite events).
- Under Activity Panel > Polls, unselect the event areas where the Polls tab is not needed.
- Click Save.
-
To clear the chat in a Webinar event:
- Go to Event Dashboard > Setup > Basics.
- Under Activity Panel, toggle off Polls.
- Click Save.
Tip: There is only one activity panel in a Webinar event. For more information on how to manage it, refer to Webinar event: Configuring the activity panel.
Disabling polls within the event
In the event venue, you can disable the Polls tab for any specific event area. This process is the same for all event formats.
- Navigate to the desired event area where you want to disable polls. This could be the event-wide activity panel or within a specific Session, Stage, or Expo Booth. In a Webinar event, there's one event area and activity panel only.
- In the activity panel, click the Menu icon.
- Toggle off Enable polls.
