   Note: If you don’t see the Forms icon, click Messaging extensions , and then select Forms.

2. Add your question and options, and then click Next.

3. Preview your poll, and then click Edit if you want to make changes, or click Send if you’re ready to post it.

As people in your group take the poll, you’ll see real time results in your group conversation.
