- 00:56 And this is often used by people working in the education industry.
- 01:00 We can also create polls, which are great for gathering opinions and
- 01:04 preferences from a group of people.
- 01:06 And because Microsoft Forms is part of the Microsoft 365 suite of applications,
- 01:12 we can even create polls directly from within other applications such as
- 01:16 Microsoft Teams.
- 01:18 Another big advantage of Forms is the collaboration potential.
- 01:22 Forms can be shared with other people via a link, via an invitation,
- 01:27 using a QR code, or we can even embed them into existing web pages and websites.
- 01:33 We can also add collaborators to any Form that we create.
- 01:37 And these are people who help you build the Form by adding questions and
- 01:41 deciding what the look and feel of the form should be.
- 01:44 Forms also provide some fantastic response analytics.
- 01:49 We can see real-time data as and when people respond to the Form and
- 01:54 we can analyze that data in charts and graphs and
- 01:57 even export it out into Excel for further deeper analysis.
- 02:02 And as I briefly mentioned, Forms integrates with so
- 02:05 many other applications within Microsoft 365.
- 02:08 We can insert Forms into a PowerPoint presentation and
- 02:12 get our audience to respond live in a meeting.
- 02:15 We can make Forms available in Teams channels.
- 02:17 We can create polls on the fly in Teams meetings,
- 02:20 and we can create group Forms based on existing Microsoft 365 groups.
- 02:25 In this course, we're going to explore all of the elements of Microsoft Forms.
- 02:29 So if you've never used it before, by the end of this course,
- 02:33 you will have an amazing grasp of the potential of Microsoft Forms and
- 02:38 how it can be beneficial to you and your organization.
