On 11/08/21, advanced polling features were enabled on the University of Wisconsin System (except for UW Madison) instance of Zoom.

According to Zoom documentation, "the polling feature for meetings allows you to create single choice or multiple choice polling questions, while advanced polling add matching, ranked choice, short answer, and long answer options. You can also set correct answers to have the poll function as a quiz." 

Please note that advanced polling features are only available to desktop or mobile client users if they have updated to version 5.8.3 or later. Users may need to update their Zoom client or application before being able to use this feature. See the system requirements for more information.
