Use this interactive demo to learn how to publish a poll post on your YouTube channel.

Quick summary

YouTube polls let creators engage their audience directly by collecting votes through a Community post in YouTube Studio. You can add up to four text poll options and either publish immediately or schedule the post for later.


Steps

  1. Go to studio.youtube.com, click Create in the top-right corner, then select Create post.
  2. Type your poll question into the post editor text field.
  3. Click the Text poll icon at the bottom-center of the text field to enable poll mode.
  4. Add your poll options — up to four choices — such as product walkthroughs, case studies, team Q&As, or industry news.
  5. Click Post to publish immediately, or use the schedule dropdown next to Post to set a future publish time.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube polls give creators a direct, low-friction way to gather audience feedback without leaving YouTube Studio. By embedding a poll in a Community post, channels can drive engagement, surface content preferences, and boost algorithmic visibility — all in a few clicks. For brands and content teams, scheduled poll posts make it easy to maintain a consistent publishing cadence while keeping the audience actively involved. This feature is essential for any creator strategy focused on growing community interaction and informing future content decisions.
