I am working on a new SharePoint online site. And the customer asked to have the ability to add Polls on different places inside the SharePoint site home page.

Now based on my investigations and reading (such as this link https://sharepointmaven.com/5-ways-to-create-a-poll-in-microsoft-365/), i found that we have 2 main options inside Office 365 to build Polls capabilities, since SharePoint does not provide any out of the box Poll capabilities:-

1) Using MS Forms

2) Using Yammer

But not sure which provide better feature and capabilities?

Based on my testing i can list these:-

1) MS Forms

Pros

  • Easy to implement
  • We can embed 2 different polls on 2 different sections of the home page

cons

  • When the user submit his/her feedback >> the user can NOT view the overall results

2) Yammer

Pros

  • Also Easy to implement
  • When the user submit his/her feedback >> the user can view the overall results

cons

  • We can NOT embed 2 different polls on 2 different sections of the home page. as we can only show all the Polls inside the community.. so all the Polls need to be shown under each other inside the home page.

So can anyone advice on this? Yammer Vs MS Forms for embedding Polls inside SharePoint modern pages?

Thanks

    Hi @john john ,

    In fact, as you listed the pros and cons, Yammer and Microsoft Forms have their own pros and cons, there is no the best way, I suggest you choose according to your needs.

    Thanks for your understanding and support.
