Spotify podcast polls will appear at the bottom of the Now Playing screen similar to how it shows lyrics. Once you scroll down you’ll see the poll question with four options to select from. Polls will also appear at the bottom of the episode page wherever the feature is activated.

These polls are pre-set and all you have to do is select the option from the list. Once you select your answer, you’ll be able to see which option has received how many votes so far. The interface is similar to Twitter polls. The testing seems quite limited as polls don’t appear in all the episodes of the podcast. In some podcasts, you may only have one poll available.

The latest feature comes amid Spotify’s growing push for podcasts on its platform. The streaming service has introduced quite a few features for podcasts this year. It launched video podcasts globally, and rolled out podcast charts as well. Spotify has also signed some major podcast deals with companies such as Warner Bros., Archie Comics and more.
