Answer a poll and see results

When someone starts a poll it shows up as a message in the group's channel, and anyone in the channel can answer it. As soon as you've voted you see the tally, and you can revisit or change your answer any time.

🖥 Web
📱 Mobile

Open the group's channel from Chats and find the poll in the message list.

Give your answer to the question — pick an option for a Choices question, set a Rating, or type into the number or text field.

If the poll has more than one question, use the arrows to move between questions — each one is answered separately.

Open the group's channel from the Chats tab and find the poll in the conversation.
Give your answer, then tap Confirm.

The poll shows the results as a bar chart. Long-press a bar to see the vote details for that option.
