Run a live poll during class
Drop a 2–4 option poll into the live room. Students vote inside the call, results render in real time, and a notification fans out to every enrolled student + invited co-instructor.

Launch a poll
Open the host view at /dashboard/classes/<id>/host. The right-rail Poll panel has a composer pinned at the top — type a question, add 2–4 options, hit Launch. The poll appears for every joined participant within ~500ms via the in-call data channel.
What students see
- An overlay card with the question and tap-to-vote chips.
- After voting, the card flips to live results — bar per option with vote count + percentage.
- Their vote is sticky across reconnects (we key it to participant id, not socket).
Notification fan-out
The moment you launch the poll, every enrolled student and every invited co-instructor on the course gets a notification — in-app bell + (per their channel preferences) email or WhatsApp. The notification deep-links straight to the live URL so they can vote even if they're on another tab.
When you close the poll, a second notification ships with the result: winner label, vote count, and percentage. Re-watchers see the question + the result baked into the recording so it stays referenceable after the class.
