Beyond the Chat: How to Engage Your Audience and Make Decisions with Live Polls

You're hosting a webinar and ask a critical question: "Does this new feature seem useful to you?" The response? A few scattered "yes" messages in the chat, buried between "hello from Brazil" and a question about something else entirely. You have no real data, no clear consensus, and no way to gauge the true opinion of your audience.

Text chat is great for conversation, but it's a terrible tool for structured feedback.

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe that understanding your audience shouldn't be a guessing game. That's why we built a simple, powerful Live Polling feature directly into the core meeting experience. It's the definitive tool for transforming a passive audience into active participants and for making data-driven decisions in real-time.

We’ve all been in a large online meeting where the presenter asks, "Any questions or ideas?" and is met with a wall of silent, black squares. In a big group, people are often hesitant to speak up, and true brainstorming is nearly impossible. The meeting becomes a one-way lecture, not a two-way collaboration.

How do you spark real discussion and teamwork when you have dozens of people in one virtual space? You break it down.

At Plug-N-Meet, we've built a powerful and intuitive Breakout Rooms feature that allows you to seamlessly split a large meeting into smaller, focused groups. It's the ultimate tool for transforming a passive audience into active, engaged participants.

If you've ever hosted an online meeting, you know the feeling. You're in the middle of a critical point, and suddenly someone's dog starts barking through an unmuted microphone. Or, just as you're about to share your screen, an attendee accidentally shares their own, derailing the entire presentation.

A successful meeting isn't just about good content; it's about good management. The difference between a chaotic, unprofessional session and a smooth, engaging one often comes down to a single question: who is in control?

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe the host should always have the power to direct the flow of their meeting. That's why we built a simple but incredibly powerful Room Lock Settings panel. Think of it as your command center, allowing you to instantly transform the dynamic of your room to fit any situation.
