How can I use an existing quiz from Microsoft Forms in a Teams assignment?

To use an existing Microsoft Forms quiz in a Teams assignment, the quiz must be available from the class context that Teams can access.

A reliable way to make it appear is to create or assign it from Teams > Assignments:

1. Open the class team in Microsoft Teams for Education.
2. Go to Assignments.
3. Select Create > Quiz.
4. Choose the existing quiz if it appears, or create it there.

When a quiz is assigned from Assignments > Create > New Quiz, Teams saves a copy of that form under Group forms for that class in Microsoft Forms. That group-saved quiz counts toward the group form limit instead of the personal form limit.

If the goal is to distribute an existing Forms item and it still does not appear as a quiz option in Teams, use the form link instead:

1. In Microsoft Forms, open the form or survey.
2. Select Collect responses and copy the link.
3. In Teams, open the class team and go to Assignments.
4. Select Create > New Assignment.
5. Select Attach > Link.
6. Paste the Forms link, add display text, and select Attach.
7. Complete the assignment details and select Assign.

Also check the response setting in Forms before sharing:

• Only people in my organization can respond for school or district privacy.
• Anyone with the link can respond if the form must be available more broadly.
