Trapped in an intense debate on Discord? Try asking for everyone’s opinion and see what the majority says!
With Discord’s Polling feature, you are steps away from resolving even the most heated argument on your chat messages.
How Do Polls Work on Discord?
Prior to the launch of Polls on Discord, many users who want to host surveys on their channels and messages end up using third-party bots. Now, Discord offers integrated polls!
Users can easily create questionnaires and options about a particular topic for people to vote on. It is an effective way to gather opinions without resorting to flooding the chat groups.
Unfortunately, not all servers are able to capture the Poll capability. As Discord constantly releases the new tool to more servers, users who can’t access it yet will eventually get their chance.
How to Make a Poll on your Discord Channel?
It takes only a few simple steps to create a poll on Discord. Take note that you can only add up to 10 answers for each poll. In addition, only users who are able to send messages in a channel can create a poll. Those who can’t and can only view the channels are limited to voting.
Check out the steps below how to create a poll via Discord website or mobile app.
- Locate the Plus Sign in the text field of the channel. or group messages.
- Select Poll.
- Now, add the information you want.
- Customize your poll according to how long your poll is active and the number of options people can vote on.
- Once done, click Post.
How to Use the New Polling System on your Discord Community
