Adding polls to your dadan video

A poll is a type of dadan Interaction that lets you gather quick feedback and engage your audience with multiple-choice questions. It’s a simple way to understand opinions, preferences, or knowledge levels.

  • Note: All dadan Interactions rely on the video AI Transcript. You’ll need to generate the transcript first, as it provides the foundation for them. Otherwise, these interactions will create the video AI Transcript before proceeding.
