See Poll Results as Presenter
Hi there,
when i´m the presenter (not the organizer) and sharing my screen, why am i not able to see a poll? Or more important the poll result? It is necessary for my presenter to respond on the results but its not working, they can´t see the results.
This Problem only occours on Windows machines by the way, when the presenter is using a mac it works fine!
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Thanks!

Right-- that term can apply to Panelists or Organizers, but only Organizers can currently launch and 'see' the Polling questions.

Hi JoMorianiUK, welcome to the community.
This is not a glitch, it's a limitation of the Panelist role verses the Organizer role. With the new version of GoToWebinar that is currently in development we are looking at the options for some more granular permissions to allow Panelists the ability to do more if the webinar Organizer wants that.
Hi, I've been using GTW since 2012 and the presenter (who is not an organiser) can not see the poll results in full screen.... I had to read them out today in 2023..... can this glitch be fixed please? Expecting presenters to read out results from the audience view pane or having to give them organiser rights (so they could close down the whole webinar) is not a good option.
"Presenter" is a defined role as described here:

Unfortunately the thread you refer to was started in 2013 so it doesn't seem like the request is close to being implemented, but I will comment. Thanks.

Presenter
Any update on this? We have a regular presenter who likes to use polls to gauge the level of the audience, but can't see the results so we have to read them back to him.
Thanks for your patience everyone. We have reproduced this behavior internally on some Windows machines and will work to resolve it as soon as possible. Once the Organizer shares the polling results, both Mac and Windows Panelists should be able to see them.
Presenters can NOT see the poll questions and they can NOT see the results, unlike the audience. This is very unpractical, and currently the only solution seems to be to make the presenter organiser, which is obviously something we would like to avoid.
It appears the OP said the Panelists and Organizers can see the polling data, but the Presenter cannot. Earlier the OP said this is a Windows problem, but not a problem on the Mac.
