You can increase viewer engagement during your live events by opening polls and question-and-answer (Q&A) sessions directly in your event. This is available alongside the live chat feature.
Sondages live
Notre fonctionnalité de Sondages live vous permet d'insérer dans votre live streaming des questions auxquelles les spectateurs pourront répondre sur la Fenêtre de discussion de Vimeo Live. Les sondages peuvent être utilisés afin d'obtenir des retours des spectateurs (avec les réponses classées selon les pourcentages), ou bien pour des jeux-questionnaires (où l'une des options est la bonne réponse). Vous pouvez avoir autant de sondages que vous souhaitez par diffusion, mais seulement un sondage peut être ouvert à la fois.
Once you have set up your live event, you can see a “Polls” tab to the left side of the page, where you can create your poll.
After clicking "Create poll," you will be prompted to enter the question to display, up to four options, and the optional ability to mark one option as the correct choice by clicking the star icon associated with that option.
Once your poll has been created and you are live, you can select “Open poll” to show this poll and allow viewers to participate. Polls can be created before going live, but they cannot be opened until you are streaming.
Opened polls will be pinned to the beginning of the live chat so it will be visible to all viewers. You can keep your poll open for as long as you’d like. While open, you can choose to “Show graphic” which will show the poll options on the stream itself. The percentages for each option will continue to changes as more viewers partake.
Once your viewers have had enough time to submit their response, clicking “Publish results” will close the poll so no more responses can be accepted. You can continue to use the “Show graphic/Hide graphic” button to display or hide the final results. Once your poll has concluded and you no longer need the results, you can remove it by clicking “Archive.”
Keep in mind that the results will not be stored anywhere on your Vimeo account after your event so be sure to take note of them before removing them.
Live Q&A
Live Q&A allows you to accept questions, have viewers vote to order questions based on popularity, publish the question to the stream, and ultimately answer them.
Once you have set up your live event, you can see a “Q&A” tab to the left side of the page, where you can click "Start Q&A" to open your event up to questions. You can do this before your stream or while you're live, although note that you cannot take action on a question until your event is broadcasting.
This will notify your chat users that they can begin to submit questions through Live Chat; they can log in via Vimeo or Facebook, or join as a guest where they type in their name and agree to terms of use. They can also click the thumbs-up icon to vote on questions they like. Viewers in both your on-site and embedded live chat can participate in live Q&A.
Using the dropdown menu, you can view your questions by selecting Popular Questions, Most Recent, and Archived to see the answered/rejected questions.
When you’d like to answer a question, select the question and then click answer.
You then have the option to show graphic which shows the question on your stream as a lower-third graphics overlay.
When you’ve finished answering the question, click archive to remove the graphic overlay and remove the question from the list. You may also archive questions without answering them or publishing them to the stream.
To end your Q&A session, click End Q&A below the list of questions.
Please note that ending Q&A does not end the live chat. Live chat will end as soon as the broadcast ends and will not be available afterward.
At this time, transcripts of live chat, poll results, and Q&A are not available after a stream concludes.
