Millions of education, commercial, and consumer customers have already been using Microsoft Forms, a simple, lightweight tool to create surveys, quizzes, and polls and today, we’re excited to announce Microsoft Forms is also generally available to Office 365 U.S. Government customers in GCC and GCC High environments.

 

 

With Microsoft Forms, employees can easily solicit client input, measure customer satisfaction, and organize team events within minutes. The app is simple to use and works on any web browser, so it can be accessed from anywhere, anytime. Microsoft Forms also makes it easy to understand the data right away, with real time responses and automatic charts that are in-built. And for more complex surveys, Forms supports question branching and Likert scales, plus the ability to collect 50,000 survey responses per form.

 

Additionally, Forms supports the addition of themes, logos, and images, for organizations and agencies that want to custom brand their surveys. Microsoft Forms has enterprise-grade security, supports such features as SOC FedRAMP and compliance, and has the ability for IT admins to manage user licenses.

 

As of today, Forms will be turned on for end users, by default, and available via the app launcher in GCC and GCC High. GCC customers can log in at forms.microsoft.com or through the Office app launcher. GCC High customers can log in at forms.osi.office365.us or through the Office app launcher.

    Hi all I am looking for help, I am not very tech minded so please excuse the simple language. I accidentally used the administrator link to a form and deleted the questions, this is turn has deleted the answers to those questions that had already been submitted but not the information about who had responded. Is there a way of retrieving the answer data? Thanks for any suggestions! 

  • Nat-12 Thanks for your question. I will reply you with privacy message to see if I could help with your issue.

    Will Microsoft Forms connector for Power Automate be supported in GCC high anytime in the future? Without the connector working or the ability to send email response in GCC high Microsoft Forms loses a ton of functionality.

    I would like to use Forms for Excel so we can create forms that save results to a Teams folder rather than an individual OneDrive location.  When will Forms for Excel be available for GCC customers?
