Updated September 19, 2025: We have updated the content with additional information OR resources.
Before this rollout, organizers are unable to capture real-time feedback using polls in Microsoft Teams town halls.
After this rollout, organizers with the Teams Premium license will be able to create and share polls in Teams town halls using the Polls app, gathering real-time feedback from participants through multiple-choice questions and other types of polls.
This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop and Teams for Mac desktop.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 489808.
[When this will happen:]
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out late September 2025 (previously early September) and expect to complete by early October 2025 (previously mid-September).
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-October 2025 (previously mid-September) and expect to complete by late October 2025 (previously late September).
[How this will affect your organization:]
After this rollout, organizers with a Teams Premium license can use the Polls app to gather feedback from attendees in their town halls.
NOTE: The Word cloud option in the Polls app is not available as a poll type. Organizers cannot send polls after the town hall has ended.
This change will be available by default.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to assess the impact on your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
If desired, you can disable the Polls app feature from town halls using this Microsoft PowerShell command:
Set-CsTeamsEventsPolicy -Identity Global -BroadcastPremiumApps Disabled
Before rollout, we will update this post with new documentation.
