Is there a way to prevent spam responses using bots in Forms? E.g. adding a Captcha or similar?

I am receiving spam responses submitted using bots on some of my forms.
Is there a way to prevent this?

@PatrickLeckie there is no way in Forms to prevent that, it is something that your email client might be able to handle, but with anonymous external forms spam is always a risk. I definitely agree with you that a captcha feature would be a great addition and you can vote for this on the Forms uservoice site at https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box/suggest...

@RobElliottWouldn't hold your breath.  Been a suggestion since 2018.  Mind-boggling that some kind of challenge-response mechanism is still not available.

how about breaking the form down into multiple sections?, i believe it makes it a bit harder for bot response. i used this technique in my public form and haven`t had any issues.

Hi! I saw the previous one was here no more, Here's the latest suggestion form to suggest adding Captcha in MS form:
