Using Polls and Q&A in your episode

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.

1. Create your episode as normal, by clicking New Episode 
2. When you reach the Episode Options page, scroll down to see Polls
3. Create a new poll by clicking "Add a poll"
4. Enter your question or statement, then select the type of poll you want it to be!
   1. Multiple-choice means listeners can choose multiple options, while single-choice means only one option can be selected.
5. Pick a start time and end time for your poll
6. Publish! 
   1. 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!
