Frequently Asked Questions

Motion’s All-in-One meeting and voting solution allows members and stakeholders to connect online, by phone, or in-person. This is the perfect choice for secure, compliant hybrid meetings that require voting.

An Open meeting is a typical video conference for a few people who need to connect with each other, share links, send invitations, collaborate, etc. Secure meetings are meetings that require voting or that need a level or security due to confidential information. For secure meetings Motion generates a unique link for each attendee that cannot be shared. This unique link also serves as the attendee’s secure voting credential. Attendees cannot have more than one active session at a time.

Motion also offers Online Voting at no charge for monthly and annual subscribers. This is your standard vote or survey that your members or stakeholders need to complete to, for example, elect positions within your organization, provide priorities for the next round of bargaining or approve a new contract. The Online Voting is free and has no limit on usage or size of your audience.
