Depending on the time you join a lobby you might see holding page telling you that it has not started yet. As soon as the meeting host has initiated the polling you will be automatically taken to the next screen, therefore you can keep this page active.

If you wish to check or amend your account details tap on the profile icon.

Please note: Chat room messages can only be seen by other attendees and the host. The host can also download a report with all of the chat activity and if anonymous login is turned off, the history will correspond to who created the message.
In the chat room, you will see all messages displayed sent from other participants of the meeting and the host.
If you wish to say something to the room, then tap on the green add icon in the bottom right.

When a question is asked it will automatically take over the chat and display the polling question.

If you wish to remove the choice, you can tap on the āClearā button in the bottom right.
There is no countdown timer and so the host should tell you when they are about to close the poll. Once closed you will be unable to make any changes to your response and the colour will disappear from the page leaving your selection highlighted in grey.
