Forms
Microsoft Forms is available as a built-in app within PowerPoint, allowing users to add their Forms directly into PowerPoint presentations. This KB provides useful tips and information about this feature.
To create a Form you can access Forms via go.westernu.edu under All Apps or accessed using the direct link Microsoft Forms
- This app feature is available to all users
- You must be signed into PowerPoint to access this app, meaning this will not work on shared or common computers that utilize device licensing for Office 365
- For this case its best to use the online version of PowerPoint from go.westernu.edu
- Note that during a presentation Forms may only be active for ~3 minutes, see more information below
- Additional Add-ins are managed by WesternU IT
PowerPoint
Microsoft Forms is available from Home > Add-ins
From here, click on Forms
You will then copy the url to your Forms which will insert the Form into your slide
Additional Information
PowerPoint has a legacy Forms button that is not recommended for use, this utilizes an outdated version of Forms and will not work for users. Unfortunately there is not a way for IT to remove this.
Do not use this option Insert > Forms
Forms has an internal timeout time of ~3 minutes, this timeout would begin once the slide is selected during presentation.
The slide can be reloaded by accessing the Action menu after clicking on the Form
