Are you tired of the back-and-forth emails trying to find a suitable meeting time for everyone? SimplyMeet.me is excited to introduce our latest feature: Poll Meetings, a revolutionary way to streamline scheduling!

What Are Poll Meetings?

Poll Meetings allow you to create and conduct polls to find the best time for a meeting. This feature lets users create polls from existing personal meeting types, offering flexible durations and a selection of preferred time slots across various dates. You can also customise the poll, allowing participants to see each other’s names and votes during the selection process​​.

How to Use Poll Meetings:

Go to the “Meetings” tab, select “Poll Meetings”, and click “Create New Poll.” Choose an existing personal meeting type. If the meeting type has a flexible duration, select from pre-set values.

You can also enable “vote visibility” on the booking page to allow invitees to see each other’s emails and votes​​.
