Using post-meeting survey and reporting


As the meeting host, you can schedule a survey to be sent to participants when your meeting ends. Afterward, you can download the survey responses as a report to simplify feedback collection. If you want to collect feedback during a meeting, you can create a meeting poll.

In addition to Zoom's native meeting survey feature, you can redirect participants to a third-party survey service, such as Google Forms or Survey Monkey.

You can also schedule a survey to be sent to attendees after hosting a Zoom webinar. Learn more about post-webinar survey and reporting.
