Creating MS Forms in Teams

With Microsoft Forms, you can create surveys, quizzes, and polls, and easily see results as they come in. A benefit of creating an MS Form within a Team is that it allows all members of the team to view the responses and edit the Form as necessary.

In Microsoft Teams, easily set up a Forms tab, create a new form to collect responses, add an existing form to collect responses or show survey results, collaborate with your team on a form, create notifications for your form, or conduct a quick poll just for your team.

Add a Forms tab to create a new form

In Teams, go to the channel you want and click Add a tab .
Under Tabs for your team, click Forms.
In the Forms tab configuration page that opens, choose Create a shared form that your team can edit, then provide a name for your new form.
Post to the channel about this tab is automatically checked so you can immediately share your new form with your team. If you don't want to share it right away, deselect this option.
Click Save.

You are now ready to work with your team to create this form.

Note: Each form tab will have an action status in front of the form title. In the following example, this survey is in the process of being created, so Edit is in front of the form title: Edit | Survey: Feedback on the New Tour.

Add an existing form to collect responses, show survey results, or collaborate with your team

In Teams, go to the channel you want and click Add a tab .
Under Tabs for your team, click Forms.
In the Forms tab configuration page that opens, choose Add an existing form.
In the Search field, type in the name of the form you want to add or select from the list below the field.
In the dropdown list below Add an existing form, choose whether to Collect responses, Show results, or Collaborate.
Post to the channel about this tab is automatically checked so you can immediately share your new form with your team. If you don't want to share it right away, deselect this option.
Click Save.

If you select Collect responses, the form will be in "Fill" mode, so you'll see Fill in front of the title to let you know you're in the process of collecting responses from your team. Example: Fill | Survey: Feedback on the New Tour.

If you select Show Results, you are sharing the results of a form with your team, and the form will be in "Results" mode. You'll see Results in front of the title to let you know responses have been collected and you're now sharing those results with your team. Example: Results | Survey: Feedback on the New Tour.

If you select Collaborate, you and your team can edit an existing form. You'll see Edit in front of the title to let you know the form is open for edit. Example: Edit | Survey: Feedback on the New Tour.

Start a conversation with your team about a form

Now that you've created a new form or added an existing one, anyone on your team can contribute to your form. It's easy to get a conversation going about it by clicking on the conversation icon in the upper right corner of Teams.

A conversation window will open to the right of your form tab. Learn more about using the Conversation tab in Microsoft Teams.
