BigMarker News & Updates Polls

Ask a whole sequence of questions as one poll

A Multiple Questions poll holds up to thirty questions behind one name, one set of settings and one card in your dashboard. Questions can branch on earlier answers, and attendees are walked through them in order while the session is live.

Asking three questions during a live session used to mean building three polls and chaining them together — switching on “display this poll immediately after another poll” for each one, then keeping the order straight in a list where every question looked like a separate poll. A Multiple Questions poll replaces that chain with one poll: up to thirty questions, one name, one set of settings, one card in your dashboard, and questions that can branch on what someone answered earlier.

One poll, not a chain of them

A poll used to be one question. Asking a short sequence meant building each question as its own poll and linking them, which worked but spread one piece of research across several cards — each with its own name, its own settings and its own delete button.

Pick Multiple Questions when you create a poll and the questions live inside it instead. You name the poll once, set it up once, and it appears in your content list as a single card.

Add Question

One poll a host runs mid-session to read the room and decide what to cover next. The first question is the poll itself; the rest are added inside it.

Questions that depend on earlier answers

Any question after the first can be made conditional. Open it, switch on Conditional question, and choose Show if question — then the response option it has to Equal.

The question you depend on does not have to be the one immediately before it. You can point at any earlier question in the poll, so a rating in question one can decide whether question four is asked at all. The builder tags a dependent question Conditional in the list, and flags it if you reorder the poll so that it now sits before the question it relies on.

Four question types

Each question in the poll picks its own type, so a rating, a multiple choice and a free-text follow-up can sit in the same poll.

TypeWhat it collects
Multiple ChoiceOne answer from the options you list
CheckboxesSeveral answers, with an optional cap on how many
0–10 RatingA score, for anything you want to trend
Short AnswerFree text

A poll holds up to 30 questions, and each question up to 12 answer options.

What attendees see

The attendee experience is the familiar poll pop-up, and it is deliberately unchanged. A Multiple Questions poll is played as a sequence: someone answers the first question, submits, and the next one appears — skipping any question whose condition was not met.

So the change is on your side of the glass. Attendees answer the same way they always have; you build, name, launch and delete the whole sequence as one thing.

Where you build it

The main route is the webinar dashboard: Pre-load Content → Polls, then add a poll and set Poll type to Multiple Questions. The same builder opens from the classic promote page and from the live room.

One thing to know in the room: a Multiple Questions poll is added to the queue rather than started straight from the New Poll window, so you build it, then launch it from the queue when you want it.

Where it does not apply

Automated and on-demand polls do not take a question group — those stay one question each. Poll type is also fixed when the poll is created, so an existing single-question poll cannot be converted into a group, and a group cannot be copied. In reporting, each question still appears as its own poll rather than as one grouped result.

Build the sequence once
Multiple Questions is a poll type you pick when you create the poll, in Pre-load Content, the promote page or the live room.
