Polls
This overlay/dock is used to display and administer multiplatform surveys.
The installation and configuration of our dock are necessary for this overlay to work ; chat events must also be enabled for every configured platform.
Overlay
https://obs.multistream.tools/v1/wrapper?url=https://obs.multistream.tools/v1/overlays/polls/overlay
This form is intended to be integrated into OBS as a browser source and displays a survey on your stream as well as its progress in real time. Your spectators, present on different platforms, will be able to vote by posting the numbers corresponding to their choices in their respective chats; they will also be able to change their mind as long as the survey remains open.
Parameters
This overlay currently does not offer any specific parameters in addition to the system parameters common to all overlays.

Configurator
Dock
https://obs.multistream.tools/v1/wrapper?url=https://obs.multistream.tools/v1/overlays/polls/dock
This form is intended to be integrated into OBS as a custom browser dock and displays, for the streamer only, a survey administration interface.
To create a survey you will need to enter a subject, define at least two choices by clicking on the Add button, leave or not the possibility of carrying out a blank vote then click on the Start button.
Once you have counted enough votes you will need to click on the Stop button to display the final result then on the Close button to close/hide the survey.
It is also possible, at any time, to change the position of the overlay on the screen by clicking on one of the nine buttons provided for this purpose.
Your settings are automatically saved and preserved between restarts of OBS on a given computer.
Parameters
The parameters made available are the same as for the overlay form.
