A chat room with polls <\/strong>is an online space where participants can engage in real-time conversations while also participating in polls <\/strong>to gather opinions or make decisions. This feature allows users to vote on specific topics or questions, integrating interactive feedback into the chat experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Using the admin panel <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Directly in the chat. This requires you to login as an admin user.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
