Microsoft Forms is a simple, lightweight tool that lets you quickly create a form, collect responses in real time, and view automatic charts to visualize your data. You can build a form in minutes – no training necessary – and respondents can fill it out on any browser without having to install a separate app.
With Microsoft Forms, you can create:
- Surveys: Collect customer feedback, measure employee satisfaction, and organize team events
- Quizzes: Measure student knowledge, evaluate class progress, and focus on topics that need improvement
- Polls: Find out what the class thinks of your trip idea, where the team wants to meet, or how attendees react to your presentation.
Microsoft Forms is deeply integrated with Office365 apps to provide a seamless experience for basic data collection. Please note some of the integration feature are under rolling out and will be available for your organization soon.
We also have new tools for more heavy-duty needs, as you can also create custom forms with PowerApps and SharePoint lists. You can streamline, automate, and transform your business solutions with rich forms, process automation, and custom mobile apps.
As part of the Office 365 suite, Microsoft Forms adheres to the compliance, security, and privacy levels you’ve come to expect from the Office 365 apps. Companies can collect information without users having to go to non-secure solutions, and there isn’t a need to build and maintain custom surveying tools. IT admins can also manage user licenses and enable or disable Microsoft Forms co-authoring outside of their organization.
