New improvements for the Forms quick poll bot in Teams

In Microsoft Teams, you can use the Microsoft Forms app to quickly conduct a poll in a conversation. We’re working to make this experience even easier.


Once you create quick poll in Teams, the poll will be shown as a new thread within your team’s conversation. The thread will never collapse, even as it collects responses.

 

 

We also added full width symbol support for the Forms app, which means customers of full width symbol languages, such as Chinese, no longer have to switch back and forth from English for input. You can type your question and options in the format, “[Your question]? Option1, Option 2” using any language.

 

 

We’d love to get your feedback about this feature. Please go to the Microsoft Forms UserVoice site to offer suggestions or vote on ideas others have already submitted.

    Unfortunately this feature don't work with external and guest users in teams, if we create any meeting with external and guest users then it's not working. Zhongzhong_Li do you have any suggestions for this ?

    The extra render of the full survey is not appearing for me, it simply shows the @forms with the question and answer. This is across both webapp and desktop

     

    Please advise Zhongzhong_Li

    petterikoski you can see the results in the Forms "Group forms" section.

     

    Unfortunately there is no option (at least I couldn't find it) to set the poll as anonymous. You can see who voted what.

    In that poll feature in Teams, can you somehow see results by the responder - who has responded and what?

    Would be a nice improvement, if the original post was merged/hidden/removed, once the Forms Bot makes it's post.

     

    Just avoids confusion for comments/replies to effectifally multiple threads of the same thing.

    If options can be presented via number or characters then it would be better.

    Eg A B,C,D or 1), 2) 3),4).
