Issue/Question
- How can I install FindTime?
- What is FindTime?
- Can I use Doodle Polls?
Environment
Microsoft FindTime is an add-in for Outlook that allows meeting organizers to poll their invitees to locate a time where the most people can meet. It is similar to a Doodle Poll but integrated into all versions of Outlook. While Doodle polls are nice, there is no campus support for the use of the product. It is recommended to install and use FindTime.
FindTime is available for Outlook on the web, Outlook Desktop, and Outlook Mobile.
Resolution
You only need to install the FindTime add-in once for all versions of Outlook that you use, and your invitees do not have to have it installed for them to answer any of the polls you send.
To install FindTime, follow the instructions that fit your situation.

- Open Outlook
- Go to Home - Get Add-ins.
