Virtual Meeting Fatigue is REAL! One of the cures is to make your meetings and webinars more interactive. Microsoft retired the “Polls” app and has implemented a more robust solution using Microsoft Forms! After you create your meetings in Teams, you can pre-load Polls to utilize to keep your attendees on the toes, including a Word Cloud option to help you take the temperature of the group.
Currently there are 3 options for Polls in Teams using Microsoft Forms:
- Multiple Choice Poll
- Multiple Choice Quiz
- Word Cloud Poll
