Conduct an instant or live poll during a video or audio call, or live event
Hello, Are we able to start a poll in Microsoft Teams during a call (audio/video) or a live event? Looking forward to such a feature. Thanks.
- Apr 17, 2020Currently there is no polling function built-in to Teams meeting but you could use a external poll, third-party or Microsoft Forms.
For Live Events be aware that it is an delay in the broadcast, so if you ask attendees to vote they won't hear that directly. There's a 30-60 second delay. Microsoft is working on a polling feature for Live Events, vote and read more here.

For meetings in Teams there is another user request asking for polls, vote for that here

LinusCansbyHi, Is there a limited number of people who can participate to a poll ( From MS teams Forms chat)?

fabiennePerrot-Minnot Not sure, should be the same limitations as in forms:
Form, question, response, and character limits in Microsoft Forms - Office Support

LinusCansby Thank you for your answer. I was questionning because I tested it, and only 4 participants were able to answer. The others received information that the pool has been closed ( It wasn't the case obviously). I'll test it once again to check if it was a technical issue or a tool limitation.
