The vote activity is an anonymous poll where participants can vote for their favourite responses (seen as post-its) across the group. Votes are collected and then revealed once all the participants have completed the activity. Vote is most often used following an "post-it" and "select" activities.
How to add a vote activity:
Add a “Vote” activity to your desired section
Add a headline and description to prompt the group. We also recommend uploading an “Audio introduction” that supports the text on screen. Audio intros play at the beginning of the activity.
Add a similar (or the same) prompt on the participant device. This is what they see on their phone.
Add your vote options. These show up on the participant’s device and are prompted to choose one. Note: If it's following a Post-it exercise or a Select exercise, you can select "Use previous responses" to use the dynamic, participant content from those activities.
Choose the number of votes your participants can give. They can have between 1 and 3 votes in a given activity. Note: they can only vote for an option once.
Choose your desired time. We recommend at least 2 minutes for most interactive activities, but with voting, the timer spans across both voting as well as responses appearing. Note: At the moment, you can't carry over voting results into a discussion, so you'll need to incorporate discussions directly into the voting activity. Therefore, you may want to make the timer longer for the group to discuss as soon as the responses appear.
Select your atmospheric background audio that plays while participants are choosing their responses.
Provoking complex or deep thoughts? Add an optional “Audio tip” to give participants an extra prompt to provoke further.

FAQ
What shows up when the voting is completed?
When a vote is completed, the post-it notes will change in size displaying the number of votes. Look what happens when everyone in the group is in sync!
