Zoom has risen in popularity as a video conferencing tool, proving vital for both remote work and academic purposes. What adds to its utility is the feature to organize quizzes and polls throughout meetings. In the following article, we’ll explore the process of setting up and running a quiz in Zoom.
Creating a Quiz
Before you can conduct a quiz on Zoom, you need to create the quiz itself. You can use any online quiz maker or create your own questions in a spreadsheet. Once you have your questions ready, you can import them into Zoom’s polling feature.
Importing Questions
To import your questions into Zoom, open the meeting and click on the “Share Screen” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Then, select “Screen” from the drop-down menu and click “Share.” This will share your entire screen with the participants.
Creating a Poll
Once you have shared your screen, open the quiz maker or spreadsheet where your questions are stored. Click on the “Poll” button in the Zoom toolbar and select “New Poll.” Give your poll a name and add your questions one by one.
Conducting the Quiz
Once you have created your poll, click on the “Launch” button to start the quiz. Participants will see the question on their screens and can select their answer using the Zoom interface. You can also choose to display the results of the poll in real-time or wait until everyone has voted before revealing the answers.
Conclusion
Zoom’s polling feature makes it easy to conduct quizzes and polls during meetings. By following these simple steps, you can create and conduct a quiz on Zoom in no time. Whether you are hosting a trivia night or testing your students’ knowledge, Zoom is a great tool for creating engaging and interactive experiences.
