Polls and Q&A are tools that allow you to interact with your audience on Spotify! Polls are questions that you can ask your audience, and give pre-selected options to your audience to select. Q&A meanwhile allows you to receive custom answers from your audience from a single prompt.
Adding a Poll to your episode
To add a poll to your episode, you can either publish a new episode or edit an existing one.
- Create your episode as normal, by clicking New Episode
- When you reach the Episode Options page, scroll down to see Polls
- Create a new poll by clicking "Add a poll"
- Enter your question or statement, then select the type of poll you want it to be!
- Multiple-choice means listeners can choose multiple options, while single-choice means only one option can be selected.

- Note: The poll will publish at the time you set it to start.
If you want to add a poll to an existing episode, click the desired episode and go into the Edit button. From there, you can follow the steps above!
