Teams Polls show results anonymous despite recording names

Hello SandorKrus,

If the respondents' names are still appearing as anonymous despite using the "Record names of respondents" option, there could be a few possible reasons for this not working:

1. Permission Settings: check that you have the necessary permissions to view the names of respondents:

   To have the necessary permissions to view the names of respondents in Teams Polls, you typically need to have the following access rights:

   - Microsoft Teams: such as owner.

   - Office 365: You should have sufficient access rights in Office 365. This may include being a member of the appropriate groups or having specific permissions assigned to your user account.

   - Poll Creator: you should be the creator of the poll.  Ensure that you are logged in with the account that created the poll or have been granted access by the creator.

    

2. Poll Creator View: Make sure you are viewing the poll results as the creator of the poll. Sometimes, the poll results may appear anonymous to other participants or viewers, but the creator can still see the names of respondents.
   
   

3. User Privacy Settings: It's also worth checking the privacy settings of the respondents. If the respondents have chosen to remain anonymous or have restricted the visibility of their names, it can override the "Record names of respondents" option.
