    In the notes it specifies - Creating or inserting a form is only available to Office 365 Education and Office 365 Commercial subscribers with version 1807 (Build 16.0.10711.20012) or later of PowerPoint for Office 365 on a PC

     

    Does the user have build version 1807 or higher? Can you check by going into PowerPoint and then Account and seeing the version? May need to upgrade to see the Forms tab.

     

     

    Also ensure the user is logged into PowerPoint with the same Work account used to access Office 365 and Microsoft Forms

     

    Let me know how it goes! Hope it resolves

     

    Best, Chris

        Yes - if you build version 1807 or higher which should be a case if your Office is fully up to date. Can you confirm this by opening PowerPoint, going to Account and seeing the version for the user? They may not have updated to the latest version, which could be the reason they are not seeing the Microsoft Forms tab when going to 'Insert' in PowerPoint.

        Best, Chris
