Steps to Add a Poll Sticker

Follow these instructions to make your video interactive with a poll before you share it:

Enter the Editor: Record a new video or upload one from your gallery and tap the checkmark to reach the editing screen.
Open Stickers Menu: Tap the “Stickers” icon located on the right-hand vertical menu.

“Step 2: Tap the Stickers icon on the right toolbar”

Select the Poll Option: Tap the “Poll” sticker (usually found at the top of the popular stickers list).

“Steps 3-4: Tap Poll sticker, then type your question and answer options”

Customize Your Question:
- Type your question in the “Ask a question…” field.
- Enter your options in the choice boxes (you can add more than two options if needed).
Finalize Layout: Tap “Done” and use one finger to move the poll or two fingers to rotate and resize it.
Proceed to Post: Tap “Next” to reach the final posting screen.

Please note that polls can only be added to new videos during the editing phase and become permanent once the video is published. After placing your poll, you can finish your content by exploring other visual stickers or ensuring your post reaches the right audience by adding relevant hashtags before hitting publish.
