    Zoom does allow polling of attendees. It allows multiple choice questions. It also allows attendee viewing of  documents via screen sharing, and multiple webcams.  Agenda can be shown in screensharing mode, and as such it can be amended during the meeting. It's what we use at the University of Trinidad and Tobago for meetings, remote classes and more.
