Microsoft will pre-install the Poll add-in starting in late April and to be completed by the end of May. It means users will no longer need to download the Quick Poll add-in from the store and manually install it in Outlook (as set out above) to create a poll.

Recipients receive the poll directly within a message and you can vote, view and even refresh the results without leaving Outlook Microsoft will be deploying Quick Poll automatically to Outlook on the Web first and then they will start to roll out to Outlook on Windows and Mac desktops. Once installed you will see the Quick Poll Form logo when you create a new message.
