Polls and Forms in Meetings
There have been several members on the Tech Community who have asked to have forms and polls in meetings. Currently can have notes, whiteboard, files etc. Snap polls were a part of SfB but having Microsoft Forms and Polls (whether via Polly or a native app) would be an improvement and a much more interactive meeting! Best, Chris

Thank you for your feedback. We have plans to incorporate Forms into Teams meeting for in-meeting polling. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

100% to this one. I just spent an hour with a user trying to figure out how to do some sort of polling in Teams. Response "Why aren't we using Zoom yet?"
We did get forms working, in a bizarre way... but they don't work for external users.
Right now, the organizer will be asking users to raise and lower they hands. Not optimum.

Engagement would markedly increase with polling.

Presenters are requesting an interactive polling feature to encourage engagement during virtual Teams training sessions. I've participated in Forms Surveys during Teams meetings (trying to fill the role of an "interactive poll") and the functionality has been challenging and problematic. Something needs to be built into the Teams platform directly.

Hi all,
Was looking for the same. Happy to share that it is possible by using Forms or Polly
Here is a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb4AgBXcgWQTwo side notes:
- If you want to test it, you need at least one other participant on the call
- External attendees need to be set up with care to be able to participate in the poll: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/external-participants-can-t-view-chat-amp-poll-in-channel/m-p/1494693 -

Live polls where we can get immediate consolidated response would be great. For webinars and meetings in MS Teams this would at least give interaction with participants/attendees.

As many have said, this could be a very helpful addition to meetings in our remote world.

Please add this! And please make sure the feature allows all invitees/attendees, whether internal or external, to vote on snap polls

Please add forms to the desktop app of Teams. We need to be able to run poll's when doing live meetings.

We are using Microsoft Teams for many of our meetings now, however we cannot host any meeting where our members need to vote. We would rather not use other products but we have no other choice.
A simple poll feature would be good. Being able to filter who can take the poll would be perfect.

Please add polling! So helpful to have to break up long meetings and make them more interactive.

It would be great to have "polling" in Teams as we are fully remote and can a make a Team Meeting interactive for Q&A or team building activities. Thanks

Please add polling function to teams. Going to have to use another platform to keep presentation interactive.

Our current (not MT) meeting solution is to run the meeting and send people to menti.com to do a poll. If MT had a built-in poll it would be a reason to move to MT.

It would be amazing to use polls in team meetings - maintains engagement and gathers opinions.
