Disregard- it was an IT issue with my company that I was not aware of.

I have 2 separate forms that are not sending notifications to my team when responses are submitted. Is this a widespread issue at this time?

    There is no context indicating a current widespread Microsoft Forms outage for notification emails.

    Supported notification behavior in Microsoft Forms:

    1. Check that notifications are enabled on each form:
      • Open the form.
      • Select More form Settings > Response receipts > Get email notification of each response.
      • If the form was just shared, leave notifications on long enough to receive the first notification email after one day.
    2. If reminders are expected instead of per-response emails:
      • Forms can send a notification email the day after sending a form or quiz to an audience.
      • Reminders can then be sent from that email by selecting Send reminder, or from the Responses tab by selecting Remind them.
    3. If the forms are used in Microsoft Teams and the goal is team-wide visibility:
      • In the Teams channel, select More options > Connectors.
      • Configure the Forms connector.
      • Select the form to receive a daily summary of responses in the channel.
    4. If the forms were moved to a group and the team expects group email notifications:
      • A separate Outlook setting change is required so everyone in the group receives email notifications when responses come in.
    5. If the form appears stale or response activity is not updating as expected:
      • Refresh the form page, because a broken real-time connection can prevent the latest updates from appearing.
