How to Use Scheduling Poll
- Find the best times - Scheduling Poll shows what days and times work the best for you and the attendees when available using free/busy data
- All attendees vote - Propose your selected times to all attendees and allow everyone to vote and quickly come to a consensus
- ...and you’re done! - Scheduling Poll sends out the meeting invite on your behalf

- Do recipients also need to have Scheduling Poll installed?
Nope! Your friends and colleagues only need an email address and Internet access in order to be a recipient. You are certainly welcome to spread the love and invite them to install Scheduling Poll, however, and become an organizer! - Can I send a test invite?
Definitely! Just add a second personal email address to the To: or Cc: line and you're in business! - Can I send invites to people who don’t use Office 365?
Yes! You can send a Scheduling Poll invite to anyone with an email address. Only organizers are required to be on Office 365.
