Microsoft Forms is one of those hidden Microsoft 365 apps that once you find it you constantly discover new ways to integrate it into your work to make you more productive.
In this video, we look at three new Forms (and Forms connected, as you will see) features that can help you enhance your data collecting experience. We can now sync our responses in Forms in Excel, we can use Copilot to create forms (if you are licensed for Copilot for Microsoft 365/Microsoft 365 Copilot), and Microsoft seems to have created its own competitor to Forms, a new experience in Microsoft Lists that allows you to create forms for data capture.

Hi Nick; enjoying your videos. This video seems to have the sound of a "mechanical clock" ticking (or chewing sound), off to one side of your desk (mic channel) and gets a bit more & more distracting after moving through the video. Just FYI. Again, nice videos and I enjoy your precise reviews and specifics on the various bullet points for the apps that you're discussing. Keep up the great work and inciteful topics.

Thanks for watching. Not sure what that was you were hearing, but thanks for the feedback

[@archonjubael]

The thoughts around 7:00 where you’re talking about the value of a file being added to the form generation is solid.

Thanks for your feedback

Shame there's no Copilot option in Copilot in forms in lists!

[@brightideasagency]

Yes, the disparity between the two experiences is a little confusing. Hopefully it'll come and be more unified.
