Share a Polling @ McGill session with Vevox
Vevox is McGill’s polling tool. You can share a Polling @ McGill (i.e., Vevox) session with co-hosts, moderators, or students.
Share a session with co-hosts in the McGill community
You can add co-hosts, such as co-instructors and TAs, to modify the session or help you administer it in real time by inviting them via the Vevox dashboard. These co-hosts will have complete access to your session.
To add a co-host:
select the session you want to share. Click Settings, then select the Sharing tab.
Under Share access, type the McGill email address of the person(s) you would like to add as a co-host.
You can add as many co-hosts to a session as you like.
Co-hosts have complete access to the session and its content, including the ability to delete the session entirely.
You may remove a co-host at any time by returning to the Share access section and clicking the X button next to their name.
