This guide contains the minimum required steps for embedding a form in PowerPoint. For more in-depth information, see Microsoft’s official documentation on inserting a form or quiz in PowerPoint.
Microsoft Forms integrates with PowerPoint, enabling you to embed interactive forms and quizzes directly into your slides, allowing for deeper engagement with your audience and real-time feedback collection without leaving PowerPoint. For those who have used Mentimeter, Kahoot, or Slido, this functionality may be familiar.
You can insert forms or quizzes by adding a new form or by selecting from your existing forms. Participants can respond by following a link or scanning the QR code displayed on the slide, and responses can be shown live during the presentation.
All data is stored in Microsoft Forms, and results can be exported to Excel for analysis. For more information see our documentation on Forms here.
Embed an MS Form into PowerPoint
By default, a new MS Form or Quiz will require that the users responding be signed into our tenant. To speed up response collection, change the settings in your form to allow anyone to respond.
- On a blank slide in PowerPoint, click the Insert tab then select Forms
- Choose New Form, New Quiz, or select an existing form
- Poll your audience with the QR code during the presentation
Each question type (multiple choice, text entry, ranked, etc.) has modes for visually displaying them to the audience. For example, you can have a text entry question display in either a word cloud, or a scroll-able list.
While embedding a form in your PowerPoint slides is always an option, you can also use live polling directly within Teams using the Polls app. See our documentation here for interactive meeting features in Teams, and our documentation here for the Polls feature in Teams.
