Something I really love about working in a bigger company is the fact that your colleagues can challenge your opinions and teach you new things. A couple of weeks ago a colleague of mine said “Amanda we should really try Forms to ask quick questions in our team” – I said no haha. But this week he showed me, and I have to admit myself defeated, it’s great.


In this blog post I will show you how you can use the Microsoft Forms bot to send a quick poll in a team in Microsoft Teams.


1. Open the team where you want to ask the question, start a new conversation and write @

Add new bots

2. Click Get bots (this might differ dependent on tenant settings). A list of all available bots will open

What availible bots are there?

3. Click on Forms, Forms is now added as a bot in the team


4. To use it type @forms in the conversation

Forms is added

5. To create a new poll with the bot you write:


@Forms Here's a little question for you? Option 1, Option 2, Option 3


To “end” your question you add a question mark. You can add up to 6 different answers divided by a comma.

How to add a new poll

6. And voila a new poll your team members can answer!

How the poll will look

Perfect for quick polls in a team 😊

Helpful walkthrough. I set this up for our team last week and the Forms bot made collecting quick feedback much easier. Off topic, but I have also been enjoying a small daily crowd-guess game called noillirk during breaks. Thanks for the clear steps!

This is a great walkthrough. I was setting up a similar Forms poll in Teams last week and sled rider online ended up being my go-to for quick breaks between test runs. Thanks for sharing the details.

This is a great walkthrough. I have been automating similar Teams flows and noomiclone has been a handy resource for quick references.

Great walkthrough on the Microsoft Forms bot in Teams. If you ever want a quick break between meetings, 2v2io unblocked is a fun little browser game.

Encontré interesante el contenido sobre Magis TV gratis porque permite conocer algunos aspectos antes de utilizarla. Para quienes buscan entretenimiento, investigar previamente puede ser útil. También es recomendable revisar las condiciones correspondientes y prestar atención a la seguridad, privacidad y procedencia de la aplicación.
