Yes, this is a known issue, i.e. when a user tries to use FindTime add-in to schedule a poll, they may run into this error/issue. FindTime engineering team is looking into it for resolution. A service incident (EX521435) has been published for impacted tenants, see below for details, if you haven't seen it yet in your M365 Admin center. Workaround is to use Scheduling poll feature in OWA.Update: This issue has been fixed.
EX521435: Exchange Online - Users can't schedule events in the Outlook desktop app using the FindTime add-inImpacted users get an error that states, "Sorry! FindTime could not load due to an unexpected error. Please try again." or "Sorry, we can't load the add-in". While we're working to remediate impact, affected users with access to Outlook on the web can use the Scheduling Poll feature to schedule meetings. See: Scheduling Poll articles - Microsoft Support for more info and share these with your users.
Current status: We're reviewing additional information, including the status of authentication components which facilitate user access to the add-in, conditional access policies related to FindTime add-in subscriptions and collecting additional service logs for further insight into how impact manifests to assist our investigation.
Why put a hat on a hat when MS could just give us a way for an organizer to grant free-for-all edit access only to meeting attendeees? I mean, what *is* the point of sending a meeting "invitation" if it's implied that you must have already asked them, and they have already agreed to attend? There is no meeting without the participation of attendees, it's just junk data. In reality no one is your "organizer," and no one is going to give you a "take it or leave it" invitation to a meeting except for the occasional all-hands. The recipient needs to be equally capable of correcting or changing details.
