45 webinar feedback survey questions (with timing guidance)
The best webinar feedback surveys ask 5–8 questions across five areas: content value, presenter delivery, format and length, technical experience, and what attendees want next. Send the survey within an hour of the webinar ending — ideally linked from the closing slide and the follow-up email — because response rates fall sharply after the first day. Below are 45 questions to choose from, organized by theme.
A webinar without a feedback survey is a one-way broadcast. The survey is where you learn whether the content landed, whether the pace worked, and — for marketing webinars — who in the audience is ready for a conversation. This bank covers every angle; a good post-webinar survey uses only 5–8 of these questions, because attendees are already half-out-the-door when they see it.
When should you send a webinar survey?
| Moment | Method | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| During the webinar | Live poll at the midpoint | Pace check, topic interest, one engagement question |
| Final slide | QR code + short link on screen | The full 5–8 question survey |
| Within 1 hour | Follow-up email with survey link | Same survey, for those who left early |
| Next day | One reminder email | Same survey — final push |
Put the survey QR code on your closing slide and leave it up during the final Q&A, not just for the last ten seconds. Attendees scan while they listen, and you will capture responses from people who close the tab the moment the session ends.

How do you assemble the actual survey?
Take one question from each section: overall rating, content relevance, presenter delivery, length, one technical check, and a future-topics question — then close with the open-ended takeaway question. That is seven questions and roughly 90 seconds of effort. Running the live polls, the Q&A, and the post-session survey in one tool keeps things simple; Formkii covers all three for free, with live results you can show on screen and CSV export for the post-event report.
Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a webinar feedback survey have?
Five to eight. Attendees fill out webinar surveys in the minutes right after the session, and completion drops fast beyond two minutes of effort. Save deeper questions for a quarterly survey to your regular audience.
When should I send a webinar feedback survey?
Show it on the closing slide and send it by email within an hour of the session ending. Responses collected the same day are both more numerous and more detailed; a single next-day reminder catches most of the rest.
What is the most important webinar survey question?
"What is the single most useful thing you took away?" If attendees can name something specific, the content worked. If the answers are vague, your ratings are politeness rather than signal.
Should webinar surveys be anonymous?
Make feedback questions anonymous by default but add optional contact fields at the end. You get honest ratings, and the attendees who opt in to follow-up identify themselves as your warmest leads.
