How it works in Microsoft Teams
Three steps. About a minute of setup. No add-in, no plugin, no IT tickets.
1. Create your poll in PollQR
Open PollQR in your browser and pick a question type. No Teams app install, no admin approval queue, no waiting on IT.
2. Share the link or QR in Teams
Paste the public URL into the Teams meeting chat — or display the QR code on a slide and let attendees scan. Voting opens in their default browser.
3. Show results in real time
Open PollQR's Presenter view in a separate browser window and share that window via Teams' screen share. Switch between your slides and the live count whenever.
Why presenters pick PollQR for Microsoft Teams
No admin install required
Most Teams environments require admin approval before a third-party app can be installed for the tenant. PollQR avoids that entirely — it's a regular web URL. If your audience can browse the web, they can vote.
Works for town halls and large webinars
Pro supports up to 1,000 simultaneous voters per poll; Business supports 5,000 — scaled for large internal Teams town halls and external customer webinars.
Audience Q&A with upvoting
Teams' built-in Q&A doesn't have upvoting. PollQR adds a Slido-style Q&A where the audience surfaces the questions worth answering — and you can pre-moderate before anything hits the screen.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need IT to install a Teams app for this?
No. PollQR is a web app — there's no Microsoft Teams add-in or third-party tenant app to install. You and your audience just visit a URL. This is the main reason teams in regulated organizations choose PollQR over Teams-integrated polling tools.
Can attendees vote without leaving Teams?
Yes. Most attendees vote from their phone while Teams stays open on their laptop. They can also open the voting URL in a separate browser tab next to Teams.
What about Microsoft Forms — isn't that already in Teams?
Microsoft Forms is fine for surveys, but it doesn't have real-time live result animations, word clouds, or audience Q&A with upvoting. PollQR is designed specifically for live audience moments — the kind where the bars or word cloud need to grow on screen as people vote.
How many attendees can vote at once?
Up to 1,000 per poll on Pro and 5,000 per poll on Business. Designed for Teams town halls and customer-facing webinars.
Can guest speakers run their own polls?
Yes. PollQR accounts aren't tied to your Teams tenant, so an external speaker can run their own poll inside your Teams meeting without any IT setup.
Can I export results after the meeting?
Yes. Every poll's responses are saved to your PollQR dashboard with CSV and JSON export.
