How to Create a Poll in Microsoft Teams : Step-by-Step Guide

Start by opening Microsoft Teams and go to the specific channel or chat where you'd like to gather opinions through a poll. This ensures your poll reaches the right audience within your team.

Once you're in the conversation area, look for the "Start a post" option to begin sharing something new. This is the first step toward creating your poll.

Next, click the "+" icon, which allows you to add apps or extensions to your post, expanding what you can share beyond just text.

In the app search bar that appears, type "Polly" to find this polling tool quickly. Adding Polly lets you create interactive polls right inside Teams.

After locating Polly, click the "Add" button to begin integrating it into your post. This sets up the poll feature for use.

A confirmation window will pop up; click "Add" once more to finalize adding Polly to your Teams environment. This step connects the app fully.

After installing Polly, you'll see a prompt to "Continue." Click this to proceed to the poll creation setup.

You'll then be asked to accept the permissions Polly needs to work properly. Clicking "Accept" authorizes these and ensures smooth functionality.

With Polly now added, click on the "Create New" button to start building your custom poll for your team to interact with.

In the poll creation window, type your question and provide several answer choices. This lets your team pick their preferred option easily.

Once everything looks good, click "Send now" to share your poll instantly with the selected channel or chat.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created and published a poll in Microsoft Teams, making it simple for your team to provide their feedback.
