After you enter “/poll” and press Enter or Return, you’ll see a new window pop up. If you want to click something instead, go to Stream Manager > + (if the Poll tile is not visible) > Manage Poll > New Poll.
Allow Voting with Bits: this will allow your viewers to vote more than once by using their Bits. Allow Voting with Channel Points: this setting lets your viewers vote more than once by using their Channel Points. Subscriber Votes Count 2x: If you want subscriber votes to weigh more heavily than those who aren’t subscribed to your channel, enable this setting. In this case, each subscriber’s vote is counted twice. Duration: You can decide how long you want the poll to remain up. Use this drop-down menu to select a duration.
Your poll’s final results will appear in place of the poll when it ends. To view your poll’s breakdown, go to “https://twitch. tv/popout/YOURUSERNAME/poll” (replace YOURUSERNAME with your username) and click Vote Breakdown to see the poll’s details. You can only run 1 poll at a time. [1] X Research source
Poll titles are restricted to 60 characters and the options can be up to 25 characters long. You can have up to 5 answers, so you might have something like “!poll POLLTITLE|OPTION1|OPTION2|OPTION3|OPTION4|OPTION5”
Those with mod or editor permissions will also be able to create polls this way.
For example, if the poll is asking “What should I do today?” and the options are: 1. PVP 2. Level 3. Raids, then “/vote 2” means you’re voting for Level.
