About This Feature

Overview

Group Poll is a built-in polling feature in WPS Office group collaboration on Windows. It helps teams collect opinions quickly and view results in the same group chat.

Its main capabilities include:

Start a group poll from the More menu in the bottom toolbar of a group chat window.
Enter a poll title and add one or more options.
Set a deadline and enable multiple choice or anonymous voting.
Send the poll to the group chat as a card so all group members can participate.

This feature works well for team decisions, meeting time selection, activity planning, and quick opinion collection. It keeps the poll content and results in one conversation, which makes follow-up easier.

Capability Summary	Group Poll lets you start a poll directly inside a Windows group chat, add a title and options, set a deadline, enable multiple choice, enable anonymous voting, and send the poll as a chat card.	Microsoft Forms can create surveys, quizzes, and polls, add questions, and preview the form before sharing. It is centered on a standalone form workflow.	Google Forms can create online forms, send them to respondents, and analyze responses in real time. It is mainly a link-based form workflow.	Notion Forms can collect responses into connected databases and supports anonymous responses. It is designed around database-backed forms.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on creating and distributing PDF forms for document workflows rather than in-chat polling.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the poll starts inside the group chat window and is delivered back into the same chat as a card. Distinct: deadline, multiple choice, and anonymous voting are available in one flow for quick team coordination.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft uses a separate form creation and sharing flow instead of an in-chat group poll flow.	Compared with WPS: Google is better suited to shared form links than direct polling inside a chat window.	Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for database-based collection, while the in-chat polling path is less direct.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented to PDF form creation and completion, not fast polling in a group chat.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Group Poll is a practical fit for teams that already work inside group chats and need a fast way to launch and complete a poll in context. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each support adjacent form workflows, but their paths are more focused on standalone forms, databases, or PDF documents than chat-based polling.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main pain point	How Group Poll helps
1	Meeting time voting	Project teams, departments	Chat replies are scattered and hard to count	Start a poll in the group chat and set a deadline
2	Activity option selection	Communities, class groups	It is hard to collect opinions across several choices	Add multiple options and let members vote directly
3	Anonymous feedback collection	Managers, organizers	Members may hesitate to speak openly	Turn on anonymous voting before sending the poll
4	Multi-option selection	Collaborative teams	Single-choice voting does not fit every case	Turn on multiple choice so members can select more than one option
5	Result retention in chat	All group members	Poll outcomes can get buried in chat history	Keep the poll as a card in the group chat for later review
