The quizzes feature allows you to create questions with set answers for your webinars. You will be able to launch the quiz during your webinar and gather the responses from your participants. You also have the ability to download a report on the quiz after the webinar. Quizzes can also be conducted anonymously, if you do not wish to collect participant information with the quiz results.

Hosts and co-hosts can launch quizzes, but only the host (or alternative host, if enabled) is able to create new quizzes. Hosts and co-hosts are also not able to vote in quizzes themselves. When launching the quiz, they can choose whether or not panelists are able to participate.

Full details of the quiz results, such as each participant's answers and submission times, are contained in the polling reports, which are available after the webinar by default but can also be made available during the live session. 

You can also create and launch polls. 

Creating polls or quizzes in meetings is also possible.

Limitations of webinar quizzes

• By default, only the original webinar host can edit or add quizzes during a session. If the host or co-host role is transferred to another user, that user will only be able to launch quizzes already created. Alternative host can add or edit quizzes, but the host must enable the setting for allow alternative hosts to add or edit polls when setting the alternative host.
