Social networks and messaging services have lots of tools and outstanding functions, among which we can find one that is beginning to gain strength, such as the possibility of conducting surveys. Skype has put the batteries to not be left behind in this function with respect to social networks such as Facebook or Twitter.

Skype has a desktop version and an app for mobile devices such as Android or iOS. However, what many users do not know is that from any version of Skype you will be able to carry out surveys or polls to other users through chats, whether individual or group.
The Skype Polling function allows you to launch a question with several answer options in which the Skype user who receives it will be able to answer the desired one from among all the answers offered.
That said, below we show you step by step how to create polls in Skype to be able to send them to any of the contacts or groups that you have in your account:
How to create meets in Skype for desktop (PC)
– The first thing you will have to do is open your Skype program so that when the interface is displayed.
– Here you will have to go to the contacts or the list of chats to select any of them.
– When the individual or group Skype chat is shown in full screen, you must click on the icon in the form of three ellipses located in the lower right corner of the interface.
– This will cause a menu to be displayed in which you will have to select the option: Create Poll
– Now a pop-up window will be shown in which you can write the question you want to ask.
– Then you have to indicate the expiration date (until when the question will be available)
– Finally, you only have to provide the answers that you want to be eligible for the user who receives said survey.
– After pressing the Blue button: Create Poll
– The survey will be sent to Skype Chat so that it can be answered by the recipient (s). In addition, any participant will be able to know the results of the survey in real time as well as view a greater number of details by just clicking on the button: See details
How to create a meeting in the Skype app (Android or iPhone)
– Open the Skype app.
– Select a contact, individual chat or group chat.
– When the chat is displayed you will have to click on the + icon located in the lower left corner of the screen.
– This will show the corresponding menu with several options to choose from among which you will have to select the option: Create Poll.
– As in the desktop version of Skype, a form is shown which you will have to fill in with the question we want to launch, the eligible answers and the date until which the survey will be available.
– Finally, to be able to publish the survey, you only have to click on the button: Create Survey.
– The survey will be sent and he or the recipients of this survey will be able to answer with the desired answer.
– Any of the users who receive the survey through the chat will be able to know the result of the survey in real time.
Note: It should be noted that this survey makes much more sense in group chats since all participants will be able to participate. It must also be taken into account that this survey cannot be copied or forwarded to other chats, so if you send it to an individual chat you will not be able to send the same survey to other chats or contacts.
