**Results display:**

a. *Display real-time results* - Shows the poll results as soon as the poll opens and dynamically updates the results when votes are received.

b. *Display results on poll close* - Automatically shows the poll result when the poll closes, rather than requiring an extra action to display the results.

c. *Voting results* - You can choose to show results as percentages or points (you can also select the number of decimals).

**Countdown timer:**

d. *Enable countdown timer music* - You have the option of selecting the music or uploading your own audio; the music will play when the poll is open if enabled.

e. *Automatic countdown timer* - You can set the number of seconds students will have to answer each question; the default is 30 seconds.

f. *Scoring - It is* recommended that you set the scoring in clickUP once you have linked the session.

g. Reset to session settings - You can also apply these settings at the session level.

h. Save - Click on Save to apply the settings.
