Teams Polls show results anonymous despite recording names
We noticed this issue about "Record names" setting not taking effect for Teams/Outlook Polls. We have fixed it. Please try it again. Thanks all.

I am having the same issue. It was working last week and for many weeks before but today it doesn't seem to be working. Whether I tick or untick 'record names' the results still show as anonymous.

Leon Pavesic- Hi LeonPavesic,
The form is indeed there and it also shows results. However, the results that are shown, are all saying "anonymous" in the name column despite having ticked the box "Record names of respondents (only visible to creator)". So its is not that I cannot find the results, but it is that all results are simply anonymized.
Cheers,
Sándor Hi LeonPavesic,
I can also see the results. But the last result with a correct email and name is from 28.6. - any answers from yesterday and today simply show "anonymous". I also tested by sending multiple replies myself and those show up as multiple "anonymous" entries instead of being recognized as the same user.
- I am also facing the same issue. The names are showing as anonymous despite me being the poll creator.
