🚀 Did you know you can replicate many of the same question types from Microsoft Forms inside a Power Apps canvas app?

In this video, I show how common Microsoft Forms questions—like Likert scales, ratings, and Net Promoter Score (NPS)—can be recreated using modern controls in Power Apps, and where the platform behaves very differently than Forms.

👉 Using a real employee satisfaction survey example, I walk through:
✅ How to replicate Microsoft Forms-style questions in a canvas app
✅ Why modern buttons behave differently than expected inside Power Apps forms
✅ What happens to button-based questions in View vs Edit mode
✅ The hard platform rule that causes modern buttons to lose their appearance
✅ The only two patterns that actually work for NPS and button-based inputs

By the end of this video, you’ll understand:
✅ When Power Apps can match or exceed Microsoft Forms capabilities
✅ When Forms are the better tool for the job
✅ How to design surveys that remain readable, interactive, and reliable
✅ How to avoid undocumented modern control pitfalls

If you’re building surveys, employee feedback tools, or structured questionnaires in Power Apps, this video will help you design them the right way from the start.
