I recently got employed as a moderator for a gaming community Discord server. I want to create a poll to gather opinions from the members about the next game they should play together but I amnot sure how to set up a poll on Discord.
Congrats on the new moderator gig for the gaming community Discord server! Polling for the next game is a great way to engage the members. Here’s how to set up a Discord poll in just a few clicks:
Discord actually has a built-in poll feature! Here’s how to use it:
- In the text channel where you want to create the poll, click the “+” symbol next to the text bar.
- Select “Poll” from the menu that pops up.
- Type your poll question, like “What game should we play next?”
- Add your answer choices, up to 10 options. You can even use emojis to make it more fun!
- (Optional) Set a time limit for the poll if you want voting to close after a specific period.
- Click “Create Poll” and your poll will be live in the channel!
Members can simply react to the options with emojis to vote. Discord will automatically track the votes and display the results.

1.Using Discord’s built-in poll feature (available on mobile app version 221 or higher and desktop app):
2. Using a Discord bot (requires adding a bot to your server):
