A poll your Kick audience can see in the clip

Kick supports polls and predictions of its own, so this is not a page about a missing feature. It is about where the poll appears — and the answer decides whether the moment survives being clipped.

Can you run a poll on Kick?

Yes — Kick has native polls and predictions. They render inside each viewer’s own interface, which means they do not appear in a clip, a VOD, or for anyone watching on a screen that hides the panel. An overlay poll is drawn on the video, so it does.

What you’ll build

A poll on your Kick broadcast that everyone watching can see, including in the VOD, and that works the same if you also stream elsewhere.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Decide whether the poll needs to be in the video

    This is the whole decision. A native Kick poll is quick and fine for an in-the-moment question your live chat will answer. If the poll is a segment you want to clip, post, or have visible to someone watching on a TV, it has to be drawn on the broadcast rather than in the interface around it.

  2. 2

    Add the overlay once

    One browser source in OBS carries the poll and every other tool. If you stream to Kick from something simpler, the same thing runs in a browser window you can capture as a scene.

  3. 3

    Write options short enough to read on a phone

    Four words each, maximum. An overlay poll is read at a glance by someone half-watching, and a wrapped sentence gets skipped. That constraint is the same on every platform, and it is the most common reason a poll underperforms.

  4. 4

    Say how to vote, once

    "Scan the code on screen, or open kloot.gg/join" — viewers vote on their own phone with no account and no chat command. It is worth saying out loud the first few times, because an audience used to native polls will be looking in the wrong place.

  5. 5

    Use the type that fits the question

    Five to choose from: single choice, multi-select where viewers pick more than one, this-or-that with two images, a timed quiz with a leaderboard, and a word cloud from an open text box. The free plan covers single choice with four options; Creator adds the rest.

  6. 6

    Attach a prize when the vote deserves one

    Vote-to-enter makes every vote an entry in a linked giveaway, so the audience answers a question and one of them wins something. It is one action rather than two, which matters because the second ask is where most of a live audience drops out. Creator and above.

How a poll runs, live

Once it’s built, running a poll is two presses — open and close. Here’s the whole loop, and what each side sees.

  1. You fire it· step 1

    Open the poll

    Press the key when you want the room to weigh in. The question, the options, and a QR + join code appear on your overlay — voting is open.

    You: Press Open
    Overlay: Question + QR appear
    Viewers: Sees how to vote
  2. Votes come in· step 2

    Viewers vote in a tap

    They scan the QR or enter the code at kloot.gg/join and tap a choice — Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, or an IRL room. No chat command, no bot, no extension.

    You: Nothing — keep talking
    Overlay: Vote tally updates
    Viewers: Scan & tap a choice
  3. Live· step 3

    Results climb in real time

    The bars or pie fill live with counts and percentages, and the leader highlights the instant the room swings. Read it out on mic to pull people in.

    Overlay: Results animate
    Viewers: Sees the tally move
  4. You close it· step 4

    Call it and clear

    Press again to clear the poll off screen, announce the result, and move on. Save it as a preset and the same question fires again next stream with one press.

    You: Press Close
    Overlay: Poll clears
    Viewers: Sees the final call

Polls worth running

A poll turns a passive room into the audience deciding what happens next. Good moments to fire one:

“What do we play next?”

When: Between games, maps, or rounds.

Why it works: Hands the wheel to the room and instantly lifts engagement — people stay to see if their pick wins.

Hot take / this-or-that

When: Chat has gone quiet and you want energy.

Why it works: A spicy binary makes everyone pick a side and floods chat with reactions.

Let subs decide a perk

When: Rewarding your community or members.

Why it works: A tier vote gives members real ownership of the stream — a reason to stay subscribed.

IRL room or event

When: A meetup, class, panel, or projector.

Why it works: A QR on screen turns any physical room into live voting — no app to install for anyone.

Bars — the race

The default read: a horse race the room can follow mid-game.

“What do we play next?” with four games on the board. Bars fill live with counts and percentages, and the leader highlights the instant the room swings — easy to read from any screen size.

This-or-that — the hot take

Two options, one fight — the fastest way to wake up a quiet chat.

Drop a spicy binary and make everyone pick a side. Two big bars, a visible tug-of-war, and a flood of reactions in chat while the lead flips back and forth.

Pie — the split

One glance says how the room divides — best for 3+ real choices.

Let subs pick this month’s perk. The pie makes the share of the room obvious even when the counts are close, and it reads as a “decision”, not a race.

Where it lands on your stream

The poll card sits in a corner, out of the action — or takes center screen when the vote is the moment itself.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ✕Using a native poll for a segment you intended to clip, where it will not appear.
  • ✕Writing options long enough to wrap on the overlay.
  • ✕Not saying how to vote — an audience used to native polls looks in the wrong place.
  • ✕Leaving a poll open long after the moment has passed; it is a beat, not a survey.

Frequently asked

Does Kick have polls built in?

Yes — Kick’s own help documentation covers polls and predictions for streamers, checked September 2026. This page is about where a poll is drawn rather than whether one exists.

Why would I use an overlay poll instead?

Because a native poll renders in each viewer’s interface, so it is absent from clips and VODs and from anyone watching on a screen that hides the panel. An overlay poll is part of the video, and survives everywhere the video goes.

Do viewers need a Kick account to vote?

Not for an overlay poll — they scan a code and tap, with no account and no chat command. That also means it works identically if you multistream to Kick and somewhere else.

What kinds of poll can I run?

Single choice, multi-select, this-or-that with two images, a timed quiz with a live leaderboard, and a word cloud. Free covers single choice with four options; Creator unlocks the other four types and six options, Pro eight.

Can a poll give something away on Kick?

Yes, with vote-to-enter: each vote is also an entry in a linked draw, and when the poll closes you run the draw on the voters. It is on Creator and above.
