A poll offers a few times, collects everyone's votes, and lets you confirm the best overlap. Voters need a name, not an account. This is live on the group polls page; the best practices guide covers getting fast answers.
Before you start
- Three to six options you would genuinely honor.
- A deadline and the name of who decides.
- Your organizing time zone.
How to complete this task
- Choose a short list of options that the organizer can genuinely honor.
- Set the organizing zone and explain the decision deadline.
- Share the response link and watch overlap rather than first response.
- Confirm one winning slot and notify every participant.
Finish by opening the public link in a signed-out browser: a saved setting is not proof that the guest path works.
Troubleshooting
The problems people report most often with this task, and the cause behind each one.
Participants voted but no time works for everyone.
That is a real result, not a fault. Reopen with a wider range, split the group, or accept partial attendance and record who is missing — do not keep re-polling the same options.
Someone wants to change their response.
Ask them to reopen the same link and resubmit before you finalize. Finalize only once, because the confirmed time becomes the authoritative record.
Participants read the times differently.
The poll displays the organizer's stated time zone. When the group spans regions, put that zone in the meeting title so the reference is unmissable.
