I am working on how we may be able to use the polling features of Zoom to handle voting as a possible solution for holding our annual meeting as a virtual (online) event. I was asked to share that info for the sake of other groups in similar situations. 


The basic instructions on the polling  feature is here:
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/213756303-Polling-for-Meetings

Note that it is not currently available to free accounts.  That is less dire than it sounds at first; only the meeting host must have a licensed (paid) account. There are also a number of fan groups with such accounts willing to occasionally host meetings for other groups.

Update: I did some deeper diving into the license and polling questions via the SFSFC host account:

 

I dug deeper into the SFSFC account and pricing to find this.

 

The standard host license allows for meeting of up to 100 participants. You may add webinar or large meeting licensing to that standard host license.

 

webinar has N active participants (panelists) plus 10000+ view-only attendees.

·       Registration and approval can be setup for those attendees.

·       Attendees ARE able to respond to polls, and to ask questions via the meeting interface.

·       The host may elect to unmute an attendee's mic to participate via audio.

 

A webinar license with up to 100 panelists adds $40/month.

 

Large meetings have 500-1000 active participants.


A 500-member large meeting is $50/month add-on, 1000-member $90.
