Microsoft forms app will now enhance the effectiveness of Teams and make it more interesting

Furthermore, if they want to allow multiple answers, they just have to click or tap the toggle next to multiple answers, and can also select whether they want to share results automatically after voting and/or keep responses anonymous, then select the Save option.
