Conduct an instant or live poll during a video or audio call, or live event
Hello,
Are we able to start a poll in Microsoft Teams during a call (audio/video) or a live event? Looking forward to such a feature.
Thanks.
- Currently there is no polling function built-in to Teams meeting but you could use a external poll, third-party or Microsoft Forms.
For Live Events be aware that it is an delay in the broadcast, so if you ask attendees to vote they won't hear that directly. There's a 30-60 second delay. Microsoft is working on a polling feature for Live Events, vote and read more here.

For meetings in Teams there is another user request asking for polls, vote for that here

- Hi Jude, There are multiple ways you can do this but one way is to use the Vevox Microsoft Teams App: https://www.vevox.com/polling-q-a-and-quizzing-for-microsoft-teams. With Vevox (https://www.vevox.com/) you can run live polls in a video/audio and online meeting environment to increase engagement or feedback in the moment. I work for Vevox as a Content Manager and we work closely with Microsoft to ensure that the engagement features of polling, quizzing and Q&A is very easy to use with MS Teams to optimise the perfect meeting environment. Try it out by searching for Vevox in the MS Teams store.
- The conversation is quite old. This is now built-in functionality in Teams.

https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/36269128-polls-and-forms-in-meetingsLinusCansbyHi, Is there a limited number of people who can participate to a poll ( From MS teams Forms chat)?
fabiennePerrot-Minnot Not sure, should be the same limitations as in forms:
Form, question, response, and character limits in Microsoft Forms - Office Support
Thanks LinusCansby for the tip and links. I had upvoted both.
- In the meeting chat you can write @forms and you will be able to add a poll using Microsoft Forms. I don't think it is working for guest attendees though.
