How does YouTube integration work with Nested Polls?

When your audience clicks on a nested Poll within the Q&A or regular session, the YouTube video stops, and the audience is brought to the Poll page.

When your audience navigates back to the parent session, the YouTube video resumes playing from where it last stopped.
