How to run a quick poll

Don't have the app yet? Add 123 Polls & Surveys to Microsoft Teams. Already have it? Open it in Teams.

A quick poll is one question with answer choices, made and run from a single screen. It's the fastest way to get a decision or a show of hands in a Teams meeting.

Run a quick poll in a meeting

1. Open 123 Polls & Surveys in your meeting's side panel. (Add it to the meeting if it isn't there.)
2. Click Quick poll.
3. Type your Question and fill in the Answer options. Click Add option for another one.
4. Optional: open Privacy and results to change:
   • Who can see names? Anonymous, organizers and presenters (the default), or everyone.
   • When participants see results. Live, after they answer, when you reveal them, after the poll closes, or never.
   • Allow answers outside Teams, for a link and QR code.
5. Click Run in this meeting. Or click Save for later to keep it as a draft.

If something's missing, the app says what and puts your cursor where the fix goes.

Quick polls work outside meetings too. See How to create a poll in a Teams chat or channel.
