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 😊

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.

Thanks for the clear walkthrough on the Microsoft Forms bot. Automating polls and quizzes right inside Teams saves a lot of back-and-forth during meetings. If you ever want something fun to share with the team between sessions, the freak circus is worth a quick look too.

This finally made the Microsoft Forms bot click for me — I set up a quick quiz and the team answered within seconds. When I need a tiny reset between calls I keep coming back to wacky steps, a fast little browser game that is oddly addictive. Thanks for the clear walkthrough!

Thanks for the detailed guide — I set up the Forms bot for our team last week and it cut out a lot of back-and-forth. Between meetings I like to unwind with mad drive, a quick browser driving game that works as a nice mental reset.
