Teams Polls show results anonymous despite recording names
- Jul 07, 2023
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.

- SandorKrusJul 05, 2023Copper ContributorHi 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,

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.
- Harish8601Jul 06, 2023Copper ContributorI am also facing the same issue. The names are showing as anonymous despite me being the poll creator.

jozsefhajdu I am facing the same issue. Although I select "names recorded" the names are showing as Anonymous. How to fix it, is it a bug in Microsoft Teams poll ?
