SurveyMonkey Setup

Connecting your account

The first time you use the SurveyMonkey app in Microsoft Teams, you're asked to log in to the SurveyMonkey account where you want to store your polls, surveys, quizzes, and their responses.

In addition to viewing results in a Microsoft Teams channel or tab, you can view results in the Analyze Results section of SurveyMonkey.

Add SurveyMonkey to Your Messaging Extensions

If you want fast, easy access to create and edit polls, surveys, and quizzes, add SurveyMonkey to your messaging extensions in Microsoft Teams (the icons below the compose box). Search for and select SurveyMonkey, then click … to pin the SurveyMonkey icon.
