Unable to add a tab to a meeting
Hi all
I have a strange one that I hope someone may have seen before, or know how to resolve.
When we create Teams meetings, we can normally go into the appointment in the calendar in teams and click the + button to add apps to the meeting (usually Forms to enable polling).
This usually works absolutely fine, we don't need to be the organiser of the meeting or anything like that. BUT... sometimes the + icon is not there at all for us to be able to add any apps (see screenshot below). Does anyone know why this may be happening? Thanks in advance
- So you can't add a tab when setting up a non-channel meeting? (not supported in channel meetings). You need to send the invite, leave the scheduling dialog box and then re-enter the meeting to click the + sign (= add a tab).
Neil_Patterson Please correct or create a fix for this issue - have the tab or being able to intermittently use this function is challenging in business.
I've had the same issue also. It turns out the feature is not available for channel meetings and I was creating my meetings inside the relevant channel. This is quite a serious restriction... I voted on the uservoice to have Tabs in channel meetings enabled. Can I ask you guys to vote too? Thanks

Trying to click the link to "Allow Live Polls in Channel Meetings" uservoice suggestion, but it appears to be deleted? Can't find this suggestion anywhere in UserVoice, although I am positive I saw this a month or so ago, as it's a very popular request! Where is this on Microsoft's radar? Any idea if it will ever be implemented? ChristianJBergstrom
We notice that we cannot add Ms Forms using the "+" tab on Channel Meetings within a Teams Class. This essentially renders different polling software useless for education institutes that use Ms Teams Classes.EdT Hello, you can actually workaround it by scheduling the channel meeting and then go to the channel conversation and select 'Reply'. Then add the Forms app from the bar. As you're answering in the associated channel meeting conversation it will pop up in the channel meeting chat when starting that.
The Feedback portal is the UV replacement, did a quick search for polls in case you want to take a look https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/search/ad198462-1c1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472?q=polls
- Voted. Thanks for voting this.
Neil_Patterson Hello, most likely the Team settings involved here (member permissions). You can only access these if you are an owner.
- Thanks - I'll go back to my IT team as they're telling me they haven't changed anything 🙂
Neil_Patterson Hello Neil, I'm going through some previous replies and just now realized that I gave you the wrong answer. As you're trying to add tabs to the meeting, but it doesn't work sometimes, it rather depends on if it's a normal meeting vs a channel meeting. Apps are not available in channel meetings, not yet at least.
So my apologies for the above post with the screenshot as it's not related to what you actually asked. Those are the specific team settings available (including apps and tabs though) but has nothing to do with meetings.
