What to expect from poll notifications

What kind of notifications are received?

There are three types of notifications that attendees can receive on the web app or mobile app, when polls are launched:

Mobile push notifications: These are received by the user when the mobile app is open, but when the user is not displaying the live session (for example phone is locked, the user is using another app, or the user is not looking at the live session):

Web app pop-up notifications: These are only physically seen when the user is actually looking at the web app, and appear on the top right of the screen:

In-player notifications on web and mobile: These are only seen when the user is watching a live stream, and appear in the lower part of the screen:

Notifications on mobile apps

When a poll is launched and running, the following notifications will be received by mobile app users:

If attendee's phone screen is locked:

If SpotMe app is open but is in the background (for example user is viewing another app):

If attendee is in the SpotMe app, but is not in the live session where the poll is taking place (the stream, Q&A, Viewers tab):

Notifications on the web app

When a poll is launched and running, the following notifications will be received by web app users:

What about the Notifications list in the app?

There will always be notifications received when the poll is launched. Notifications are automatically removed from the list when the poll is closed.
