Notes: 

  • Inserting a form is only available to Office 365 Education and Microsoft 365 Apps for business customers with version 1807 (Build 16.0.10711.20012) or later of PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 on a PC.

  3. On the Insert tab, select Forms.

    Notes: 

    • If you don't see Forms on the Insert tab, your administrator may have turned this feature off for your organization. Contact your admin to turn on the Forms feature in PowerPoint for your organization.

    • Note for admins: If you haven't deployed Office add-ins for your organization, you can still enable usage of the Forms feature in PowerPoint. Learn more.

    Important: If you're unable to insert a form, make sure your web add-ins aren't disabled. In PowerPoint, select Files > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings. In the Trust Center dialog box, choose Trusted Add-in Catalogs. Under Use these settings to manage your web add-in catalogs, uncheck both, Don't allow any web add-ins to start and Don't allow web add-ins from the Office Store to start.

Note: If you try to insert a form into your slide, but see the error message, Office 365 has been configured to prevent individual acquisition and execution of Office Store Add-ins, reach out to your admin to turn on the feature. Admins can sign in to https://admin.microsoft.com, and then click Settings > Settings > User owned apps and services. For the option, Let users access the Office store, your admin can check it to specifically enable access to the Forms add-in, which will allow people in your organization to insert a form into PowerPoint. Please be aware that it may take a few hours for the change to take effect. Learn more.

Important: In PowerPoint for the web, any Forms content added to a slide can't be printed successfully from there. In order to print such content, you would need to switch to the PowerPoint desktop app on Windows or macOS and print the slide from there.

Share to collect responses

Share your PowerPoint slides with others via email, OneNote, Teams, and other Office applications. Receivers of your slides can then fill out the form and submit responses without leaving PowerPoint.
