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.
- Currently 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

The conversation is quite old. This is now built-in functionality in Teams.

ChristianJBergstrom yes the feature is available in "regular" Teams meetings, but I understand this thread to be asking for the capability in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-live-events/what-are-teams-live-events.
- Actually, it’s not only asking about live events.
