Reply to question with a photo

Hello,

 

Can you reply to a question in Microsoft Forms by adding a photo/ taking a picture?

 

Thank you

  • Hi DanAllenM3 

     

    You could use File upload to get the responder to submit a photo (or other type of file). Note it does not work with the Anyone with with the link can respond.

     

     

    You can find the option in + Add new > Drop down arrow > File upload 

     

     

    Hopefully that will do the trick for your needs.

     

    Cheers and best wishes

    Damien

    It looks like this is not currently supported with the "Anyone can respond" response collection designation. My question is, does Microsoft plan to change this in the future or no? Developing solutions for the future may be able to wait for this functionality, but I haven't found anything that mentions this being a planned product update. 

     

    I am sure there are security implications above my head, but it would make my life A LOT easier!

    Hi DanAllenM3 you'd need to use Power Automate to 1) save the form response to a SharePoint list, 2) get a photo from a SharePoint asset library based the answer selected in the form and then 3) send the email back to the responder with the photo.

      Hi RobElliott 

       

      Sorry I meant can Forms be set up so the responder replies with a photo as their answer.

       

      EG

      Question: Please take a photo of the front of your vehicle

      Answer: Responder takes photo of vehicle

       

      Thank you
