    How to make a poll on the Discord app

    Creating polls on Discord is easy. There are three unique ways to create a poll on Discord. You can either create a quick poll using Reactions or Emojis or use a third party app that helps create a more complicated poll quickly. The two third party apps are either Simple Poll or Dyno. Both poll bots let you offer reaction and straw polls to your users.

    Create a Poll in Discord using Reactions or Emojis

    You can also create polls in Discord by using reactions or emojis. To do this, simply type your question into the text input box and then add a reaction or emoji to each potential answer you want to include. Using Emojis allow you to offer a multiple reaction poll to your users. A multiple reaction poll lets your users choose multiple emojis to show how they actually feel. You can also specify how long users have to respond before their votes are counted by setting an expiration date for the poll. When you're done, click 'Send' and your poll will appear in chat. Users can then respond to your poll by clicking on the relevant reaction or emoji.

Once it's installed it will allow you to create emoji reaction polls. All you have to do is type in your poll question and then add the answers you want included. You can also specify how many votes are required before the poll closes as well as how long users have to respond before their votes are counted. When you're done creating your poll, simply click 'Send' and your poll will appear in chat. Count the emoji reactions to learn what your community chooses!

    Create a Poll on Discord using Dyno

    Dyno is another great poll bot that helps you create polls on Discord quickly and easily. After you have downloaded and installed the app in your Discord server, it's extremely easy to create a poll. To use this app to create a poll, simply type in ‘/poll’ followed by your question and the available choices. You can also customize how long the poll will be open for or how many votes each user can cast. There is a limit of 10 choices, but you only have to use a slash command within the chat to create a poll. When you're done creating your poll, simply click 'Send' and your poll will appear in chat.
