Start a poll
Polls let you ask your group a question and collect everyone's answers in one place — pick a show of hands, a star rating, a number, or a written reply. You start a poll from inside a group's chat channel, and it posts as a message anyone in the channel can answer.
Polls live in group channels, so you need to be in a group — a Class, Project / Team, Family, or Study session. Private one-to-one chats and Garçon don't have polls. See Create a group.
