You can also use the Question interaction to conduct drawings for prizes for viewers of your Livestream. Questions can be pinned during a Livestream multiple times, and only displays for users with sessions who have not answered it yet.
     • Enter your question in the box and toggle Collect responder’s email on to prompt the viewer to enter their email address when answering the question.
     • Click Add.
   
   
   • Poll: You can post a poll with up to five options that your viewers can vote on.
