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 ...
- 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).
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
- Thanks ChristianJBergstrom. Yes, this is the current workaround we are using, but it's not as seamless as navigating to the tab at the top of a Teams meeting and either creating a poll directly from within the meeting, or accessing polls that have been created in advance. Using apps in this seamless way can only be done via meetings scheduled from the calendar (not associated with a Teams class/channel).
Do you know if the functionality (creating polls directly within the meeting) will ever be available for Teams Class Channel Meetings? Or will we always need to use this workaround?
As for other polling apps (Slido, PollEverywhere, Mentimeter), they can only be added as apps within a non-Teams channel meeting as well... It would be SO useful to be able to add these apps to Ms Teams Channel Meetings.
- Voted. Thanks for voting this.
