Hi Kevin! Just watched your tutorial on Find Time. One important question: How does an assistant to an invitee who manages their calendar, vote for the person being invited? Last week I did an initial findtime meeting poll and invited all who needed to attend the meeting ... and also copied their assistant who manages their calendar. All of the assistants had trouble voting for their supervisor ... the vote went under their name, not the supervisor .... also, strangely, when the assistant went in to vote for their supervisor, they got completely different times in the poll for the proposed meeting, some even at 8 and 9:00 at nigh. HELP! Thanks

-Kevin I am about to perform a Snack + Learn in our org about -your- application (now that I know you were one of the contributors). What is not showing up is at 12:00min of your video, you show that we can click on each of the attendees and choose a time on behalf of them. But I am only seeing myself. Does it matter if the attendees are external to the org? I guess I could look at the results so far, cancel the poll and just manually send another meeting invite with the most popular, but did not achieve 100% consensus. Thank you.

Hi Kevin. Thank you for this video. I am an EA for a CEO of a large non profit and I often have to schedule meetings on the CEO's calendar for her along with several other people from inside and outside our organization. Here is my question, I do not need the meetings to be placed on MY calendar, but would need them to be placed on the CEO's calendar. Do you know if there is a setting for something like this? or would I have to just manually schedule the agreed upon meeting time on the CEO's calendar?

Hi Kevin, great solution - is there also an inbound self-scheduling solution available so external customers can book a meeting with me in a publicly availabe (web?) calendar, which syncs with my Outlook calendar and doesn't require me to make any proposals? Thought Microsoft Bookings can do the same but looks this is only working for internal customers inside my own organization? Thanks for any hint in advance, Markus

The company I work at is trying to develop a solution for determining where meeting attendees will be located (remote or on site). Any chance you think this could be implemented into the tool? I realize you no longer work for Microsoft but maybe you have some idea of the roadmap or another tool that integrates with outlook resource booking which can solve for this? Microsoft Bookings maybe?

Kevin, thank you so much for your amating video tutorials. You are the only person from the IT world whose explanations I understand. Thanks to your videos, I started to use so many Microsoft tools that are very helpful! You have very clear explanations and very well illustrated. Your examples are easy to understand. You are a very talented tutor!

This is truly a great feature... but could you please tell me how come whether I select 'work hours' or not, it only shows me evening hours? My organisation only allows meetings between 10am and 4pm (even though must of us work longer than that), how can I limit the hours to be consider to those time slots only?

Hi Kevin, thanks for the great video, however I was wondering why the holds no longer disappear after we have a consensus for the meeting and schedule it? I have to delete the holds manually now. Thanks for any help on this and have a great day!

Great Tutorial - as always.
But you left out a very important point, which was the main point for me watching this video.
- How do I finalize a meeting, when net everyone has voted yet?
Maybe you can answer me on that one.
Thanks!

Hi! I tested this with a gmail account of mine (sending a FindTime invite in Outlook) - but my vote from the gmail account wasn't recognised. I will keep trying but so far am unable to schedule a meeting with one other person (i.e. me)...
