Enabling or disabling webinar polling in zoom App

It is possible to create single choice or multiple choice polling questions for your webinar using the polling feature. Additionally, you have the option to create advanced polls that support matching, ranked order, and short and long answer questions. By specifying which answers are correct, advanced polls can also be used as quizzes. The poll will be available for use during your seminar or webinar, and attendees will be able to respond. Following the session, you can download the results of the poll. In case you do not wish to collect personal information from your participants, polls can also be conducted anonymously.
