There will be less time spent during a meeting if a poll is set up ahead of time. To set up a poll, here is a video tutorial.

a few things to keep in mind when tallying up the "votes"

The host cannot cast a "vote" via the poll.
add in your vote "manually"

Ask the cohost, if she can see the poll in order to cast a vote
add in the co-host vote manually if needed

A couple who share a connection can only cast 1 vote via the poll.
Ask them via a pm if they are both voting the same and add the second vote in manually

Someone who called into the conference by phone will not see the poll.
Scramble their names ahead of the vote so that they are can vote anonymously
Ask them to vote "yay" by pressing *9 on their phone keypad to raise their hands

If not all on the phone votes come in as "yay" in the first round, I repeat the request to raise a hand for "Nay" and "Abstain" until all phone votes are cast. Add in those votes manually.

occasionally a unique participant will not see the poll.
ask them to vote by private message. Add those votes in manually.
