Download Zoom Poll Reports

Downloading detailed poll reports from your Zoom meetings provides comprehensive data for analysis and grading. Poll reports can help instructors analyze participation and engagement and may supplement attendance records where appropriate. These reports include individual participant responses, contact information, and timestamps, making them valuable for assessment and record-keeping purposes. Reports can be downloaded both during active meetings and after meetings have concluded through the Zoom web portal.

Prerequisites

Before downloading poll reports, ensure you have:

Conducted polls during a Zoom meeting
Host permissions for the meeting where polls were conducted
Ended the meeting (reports are generated after meeting completion)

Important Note: Anonymous polls do not collect participant-identifying information. Reports from anonymous polls cannot be used to determine which participant submitted a response.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Download Reports During the Meeting

To download poll results while your meeting is still active, do the following:

From the bottom of the Polls/Quizzes window, select the three dots [1]
Select Download results [2]
Choose a location on your computer to save the CSV file

Download Reports After the Meeting

To download poll reports after your meeting has ended, do the following:

Sign in to your Chico Zoom web portal at https://csuchico.zoom.us/
From the sidebar, select Reports>Usage Reports>Meeting Reports
Find the meeting where you deployed your poll
From the far right column, select the graph icon [1]
From the dropdown menu, select Poll Report [2]
Choose a location on your computer to save the CSV file

The downloaded CSV report includes comprehensive data such as:

All poll questions and available answer choices
Depending on poll settings, reports may include participant names, email addresses, response selections, and response timestamps.
Response timestamps showing when each participant answered
Summary statistics and response counts
Anonymous polls do not include participant identification.

Now you have detailed poll data available for analysis, grading, attendance tracking, or other assessment purposes.

Poll reports may contain student-identifying information. Store and share reports in accordance with university data-handling guidelines.

Troubleshooting

I don't see Poll Report as an option

Verify that at least one poll was launched during the meeting.
Verify that participants submitted responses.
Allow time for Zoom to generate the report.

The report is empty

Confirm participants responded before the poll was ended.
Verify that you downloaded the report for the correct meeting.

I can't identify respondents

Check whether the poll was configured as anonymous.

If you cannot find the three dots option during the meeting, ensure that you have launched at least one poll and are viewing the Polls/Quizzes interface.

If you cannot find the graph icon in the meeting history, verify that polls were actually launched during the meeting, not just created beforehand.

If the report shows limited participant information, check whether polls were configured as anonymous, which hides participant identification details.

Poll reports are not always available immediately after a meeting ends. Allow several minutes for Zoom to process the report before attempting to download it.

Next Steps

With your downloaded poll reports, you can:

Analyze participant engagement and response patterns
Analyze participation and engagement and supplement attendance records where appropriate.
Import results into Canvas or Open the CSV file in Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet application for analysis.
Create follow-up content based on participant responses
Track learning outcomes and comprehension over time
