We're excited to share that we've developed a new Live Poll Plugin, which you can use in OBS Software. Here is a step-by-step guide on utilizing the new plugin:

1. Once you created or customized a poll, open your project Settings. Connect and select the account (social channel) on which you plan to go live. Only after that will you see the Plugin Mode option available. Make a tick on the following box, and copy the generated link.

2. Open your XSplit Studio, click Add Source button at the bottom, and choose Webpage.

4. You'll see the following notification, which means that your Live Poll is successfully integrated in XSplit. Nevertheless, the layer with a poll will be invisible, and the poll won't start until you launch it in LiveReacting Studio.

5. Now, you just launch your stream via XSplit, go back to your Live Poll project in the LiveReacting Studio, and click on Start.

To ensure that the poll fills the entire screen without being cut off, adjust the tab with the poll to make it narrower until the proportions are 16:9. This way, you will not have white bars in the stream, and the poll will take up more space.

Now your Live Poll must be visible to everyone. When the game is over, you can easily remove the screen with Live Poll by going back to the Studio, and clicking on End Stream button.
