Microsoft Teams to Include Forms Polls in Meetings

Nov 2020

If you are familiar with Microsoft 365 and it's range of apps available you will no doubt have used Teams and have seen it evolve rapidly over recent months and as it continues to do Microsoft are now integrating Teams and the Forms app.

If you're not familiar with Forms we recently ran a 30 minute webinar which you can view on demand right here.

Teams and Forms are to be integrated via a new way for meeting presenters to poll attendees by adding a Forms poll which will appear in Teams during mid-November and into December of 2020.

This feature is available on Teams desktop and Teams on the web and any meeting presenter can add the Forms app as a tab in the Teams meeting. Before the meeting begins the presenter can create draft polls and during the meeting, the presenter can create and launch polls that any attendee can view and answer.

Attendees of the meeting will be able to see the results in real time, and respondents can respond to a poll after the meeting if the poll has not been closed.

After the meeting, meeting presenters can evaluate responses in the meeting tab; export responses to an Excel workbook; or review responses on the web in the Forms app.
