How to create a survey in Microsoft Teams
To create a survey in Microsoft Teams, you can utilize the integration with Microsoft Forms. Follow these steps for an effective setup:
Steps to Create a Survey in Microsoft Teams with Forms
- Open the Teams channel or chat where you want to create the survey.
2. Add the Forms app by clicking the plus-sign icon (+) at the top of the channel and selecting Forms.
3. Create your survey by choosing either to add an existing form or create a new one.
4. Design your survey with various question types such as multiple choice, text responses, and ratings.
5. Preview the survey to ensure it looks correct before sharing.
6. Once ready, click “Collect responses” to send your survey, choosing distribution options (email, chat message, or link).
7. Viewing Responses Track responses by clicking the View Responses tab. You can also export the results to Excel for further analysis.
However, while Microsoft Forms will remain available for surveys, its polling feature within Teams will soon be replaced by the Polls app. For teams and businesses seeking more control, flexibility, and customization in surveys, 123FormBuilder provides a more advanced solution.
