Microsoft Forms (formerly Office 365 Forms) is an online survey creation service that is part of Microsoft 365.[1] The Forms service was published by Microsoft in June 2016. The main feature is the ability to create surveys.[2] Forms allowed exporting the results obtained to Microsoft Excel.[3][4]
In 2019, Microsoft released a beta version of Forms Pro with integration with Power BI.[5]
Phishing and fraud[]
Due to a wave of phishing attacks utilizing Microsoft 365 in early 2021,[6] Microsoft uses algorithms to automatically detect and block phishing attempts with Microsoft Forms.[7] Also, Microsoft advises Forms users not to submit personal information, such as passwords, in a form or survey, and also place a similar advisory underneath the “Submit” button in every form created with Forms, warning users not to give out their password.[8]
