Quick Answers

Live Polling & Q&A
Questions, Answered.

Find quick answers about poll format, identity, access, spotlight, and session feedback.

Visit Help Center
What poll type is currently supported?

EventHex supports multiple-choice polls with option-level vote totals and percentages.

Can attendees vote anonymously?

Yes, when anonymous mode is enabled. The public vote path uses a client token so a browser can retain its selection without exposing an attendee identity.

How do attendees open a poll?

Organizers can share a participation link or QR code, and polls can also appear in the configured attendee mobile experience.

Can audience questions be anonymous?

Yes. Anonymous questions remove attendee identity from the returned question. Organizers can review the queue and choose one question for spotlight.

Does Q&A include upvoting or moderation approval?

Upvoting and moderation approval are not currently included in this workflow.

What feedback can we collect?

Session feedback supports written feedback, a reaction value, and an optional 1–5 rating, with organizer review in the session workspace.
