Unlike Zoom or Microsoft Teams, Google Meet has no native polling feature at all. Teams working in Meet have to reach outside the platform for every vote — which means choosing the right external tool matters more, not less. We ranked five options by how well they work alongside Google Meet, with particular attention to anonymity, ease of use, and whether they turn votes into actual decisions.

Our verdict
For Google Meet teams, Chooseday is the missing poll button
Google Meet's lack of native polling is a real gap, and Google Forms doesn't fully fill it — it identifies voters by default and has no decision logic. Chooseday is the most direct solution: share a link in the Meet chat, collect anonymous votes, and get a declared winner. For live presentation engagement with visual flair, Mentimeter is excellent. But for recurring team decisions that need to be on record, Chooseday is the tool Google Meet doesn't have built in.
Questions about choosing the right tool for your team.
Google Meet does not have a native polling or voting feature built into the meeting itself. Google Workspace users can use companion tools like Google Forms or Jamboard, but these are separate products that require setup outside of the call. Tools like Chooseday, Mentimeter, or Slido fill this gap.
The best way to poll during a Google Meet is to share a Chooseday link in the meeting chat. Participants click the link, vote in a browser tab in under 30 seconds, and results appear in real time. No Google Workspace account is needed to vote, and anonymous voting is free.
Google Forms identifies respondents by default if they're signed in to a Google account. Chooseday provides full anonymous voting on the free plan — not even the decision creator can see who voted for what. For truly anonymous team input, Chooseday is the most straightforward free option.
Before the meeting: create a decision in Chooseday and share the link so team members can vote async. During the meeting: paste the link in the Meet chat. After the meeting: the decision record is permanent and searchable. Google Forms is an alternative but requires manual result checking and has no winner declaration.
