The new “Polls” app will soon replace the “Forms” app for enhanced polling options in Teams meetings. The “Forms” app will continue to support surveys only. We recommend you add “Polls” to your next Teams meetings.
Microsoft Forms will add a new question type – Instant Poll to Polls app in Teams meeting. This feature will help meeting presenters quickly launch a binary poll to collect audience responses on the question without any beforehand preparation.
You can now add images to questions in polls from the Polls app in Teams. Images from a local file can be used to increase engagement and better explain your questions to attendees.
Microsoft Forms will support multiple question in 1 poll for Polls app in Teams meeting. This feature will help meeting presenters ask multiple questions in 1 poll with single ‘Launch’, to improve the meeting efficiency and better engage with attendees.
Now you can add images to create better visualized quizzes or surveys for younger learners and more inclusive to anybody who may need this.
Create engaging & inviting forms to attract your audience by using a large selection of new animated backgrounds.
Meeting organizers and presenters can now access the polls previously created to re-use or modify, so that they can apply them to new meetings instead of creating repeated polls every time from scratch.
This feature allows you to convert your existing word/pdf quizzes directly into Microsoft Forms, making it much quicker to get started using Forms in your classroom. After import, you can still edit the Quiz as needed before distributing it.
As previously mentioned in MC220490 (August ’20) and MC237612 (February ’21), Microsoft Forms will no longer support Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) and below. Users are recommended to use a more modern browser, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources. Examples of a modern browser include Microsoft Edge and the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Chrome on Android, and Safari on iOS.
Key points
For those newly coming to Forms, the brand-new product landing experience will help users understand through immersive first-touch experience about Forms capability, such as where they can use Forms and how. Users can navigate through the Forms templates categories and select pre-populated grab-and-go solutions to directly start a survey.
