Poll in a channel discussion

Adding a poll to your channel discussion will give your students the opportunity to voice their opinion and participate fully, while you can get some insight into their progress. There are many different types of questions you can ask, such as: check their understanding, break the ice, or recap questions! To add a poll to your channel, click on the three dots in the toolbar below the location to start a new post. Then click on the Forms app. If you don’t see it, just search for “Forms” in the search bar.

The next step is to create a poll. Add your question and the different options students can choose from. You can add more options by clicking the plus sign. Once that’s done, there are a few different customizations. First, toggle the bar next to “Multiple Answers” if there is more than one correct answer. To share the results once the question is answered, you can keep this box checked. If you uncheck, you can share the results after everyone submits. The last option here is to keep the students anonymous or not.

When everything is correct, click Save. Before publishing it to the channel, Teams will provide a preview of the poll for you to check out. If you need to make changes, you can go ahead and Edit. Otherwise, if everything is fine, click Submit.

The poll on your channel is for a question about the future of the United States. The results are now available, so you can choose an answer and submit it!

Polling during a live online class

To poll your students during class so you can get some instant feedback, there is a little setup that needs to be done first. You must create at least one poll before class starts. You can always add more before or during the class.

poll set Up Before the start of class

To add a poll, click the plus sign on the top toolbar and click Forms and Save. This will add a Polls tab to your meeting’s top toolbar. Now you can go ahead and create a new poll by adding a question and all the answer options.

You can add a poll to your channel to allow users to answer questions anonymously. You can also choose to have responses automatically shared with other users, or have a co-author. Click Save to add the poll.

You can see that the poll is a draft. With the drop down arrow next to the “Launch” button, you can Edit or Delete the poll. The poll can now be published before the meeting starts, or it can be released at the right time in your class. If you choose to start the poll before class starts, students will be able to respond in the Teams Chat tab. ..

Start the poll during class

Do you want to open a poll?

Students will have a notification in their chat when they are asked to respond. They can submit their response and view the results if that feature has been turned on. ..

Close the poll and see the results

When all responses are within or after a time limit of your choice, you can close the poll. In the side search menu, next to View Results button on the poll you want to close, click the drop-down arrow. There is the option to Close, Export Results or Delete the poll.

I recommend exporting the poll results so you have all the data accessible. The file will download as an Excel file to your desktop. You can open the file and view the data at your convenience. Additionally, you can view search results directly in Teams.

If you didn’t export the results of the meeting, you can view and export your voting results at any time. Go to the specific class meeting and click the Poll tab on the top toolbar. Now, you will see the poll closed, and the button to export the results. You won’t have to worry about data loss! ..
