Bypass the default Recent tab to locate your missing Teams meeting polls in the complete directory.
Polls created via third-party integrations or during recurring Teams meetings often bypass the 'recent activity' flag in Microsoft Forms. As a result, they are securely saved to your account but will not populate on the default landing page.
Navigate to forms.microsoft.com in your web browser and sign in with your Microsoft 365 account.
By default, the dashboard displays the 'Recent' tab. Ignore this section since your Teams meeting poll is missing from it.
Look towards the bottom right of the page or in the main navigation area and click on 'All My Forms' to expand your complete directory.
Scroll through the comprehensive list. You will find the poll created during your recurring Teams class meeting saved here.
