Discord is a popular communication platform used by a lot of different communities, including gamers, streamers, even some businesses around the world. Discord can be used for a lot of different things including making polls, this is a great way to get feedback from your users or to simply gather information.
There are two easy ways to make polls on discord both of them are pretty simple, one includes just sending a message yourself and reacting to the message with two emotes, and/or automating it with the use of a bot.
Creating a poll without using a bot
Open the channel in which you want to create the poll and start a new message by clicking on the text box at the bottom of your screen.
- Type the contents of your poll and add a emote to each option in the message
- If you want everyone to react to your message you can also ping them by adding “@everyone” at the end of the message
Type the contents of your poll - After you’ve sent the poll message, simply just react with the emotes you gave each of the options in the poll
eact with the emotes you gave each of the options in the poll
This is the easiest way to create a poll on discord without the help of any bot.
