Meeting Poll in Outlook

I'm seeing this feature in Outlook on the web, but it seems not finalized yet: Participants of the poll receive the poll notification, they can vote, but as an organizer I don't receive notifications when people have voted. Not useable at this stage.

I could find an entry in the roadmap about it, but no information here or the blogs.

Where could we find some information about what the target end user experience will be (user story)?

 

Roadmap abstract:

Meeting poll in Outlook (Rolling Out)
Set up meetings with people you can't see their free/busy schedules with a meeting poll.Now when you send a Calendar invite you can add different time/day options for your invitees to vote on. Based on results organizer can schedule based on majority or attendee importance.Meeting poll will be available through Outlook on the web.
  • This functionality is currently available from FindTime. I suspect it will be this functionality that will be rolled natively into the product.

    Hi,

    Discovered yesterday evening in OWA (only). Works fine with a couple of E1/E3 licences.

    Very nice and seems to be working. So finally a decent alternative to DOODLE ?

    But unfortunately it does NOT seem available for BUSINESS PREMIUM licences ! :-((((

    Can you confirm ? Will it be in future ? We really need it.

    Will it be implemented in outlook PC version too?

        FindTime is not longer available an the new Meeting Poll Feature works only for OWA.

        When will it come to Outlook?

  • I just noticed another thing missing between FindTime and Find a Time. You can choose multiple times but you're unable to indicate your preferred time.
  • Has anyone found any further information about the Find a Time feature our product is Office 365 Government E3 and Find a Time is not available here either!

      Hi Fredric Christian

      in our tenant, the E3 commercial licences have regular access...

      Unfortunately NOT the E1 and neither the business premium (we have many of them).

      Probably in MS believe tha only in big companies the meetings are organized !!! :-(((

      Very messy/confusional service deployment. :-(((
