If using Zoom, a much easier way is to create a Poll. When we start our sacrament broadcast prelude, we launch a poll with the following:
Viewers submit their response when they join the meeting. We keep the poll running throughout the meeting, so those who join late still see it. We then get a Poll Report from Zoom and can easily sum the responses. Much better and easier than enabling chat in Zoom or sending text messages to the clerk, as they recommend in the letter.How many people in your household are watching today?
