Details:
Microsoft Forms poll in Teams meetings will soon have a new question type – word cloud. This question type may improve your meeting engagement and involve everyone into the meeting. This is an excellent way to reflect audience opinions and feeling.
Previously, Forms polls in Teams meeting only had the option of a multiple-choice poll and quiz. With this release, there will be an additional question type, a word cloud poll. This will allow presenters to set up an open-ended question to collect attendees’ opinion.
Poll owner experience:
- The poll owner will be able to set up a word cloud poll question on the authoring page.
- Sharing results:
- In order to improve meeting engagement, the default setting will be set to “share word cloud with respondents”.
- If a presenter doesn’t want to share results with attendees they can change the setting and unselect the “share word cloud with respondents” setting.
Attendee experience:
- Attendees will be able to view the word cloud view on the answer page. There will be two ways for attendees to interact with the word cloud poll:
- Directly typing a word to be added to the word cloud
- Ability to “Thumbs Up” a specific word in the word cloud view.
NOTE: Similar to the current settings for a multiple choice poll, responses are anonymous so other users will not know who submitted which word to the word cloud.
Availability:
Due late September to early October.
