How to fix Scheduling poll Issue?

Recently started using scheduling poll after Find Time was removed from Outlook. As someone who sends the poll, the process is a little lengthy and annoying, but otherwise--seems to provide me with the same things Find Time (i.e. notifications when people vote and quick scheduling option). My issue has to do with the users of the poll who are unable to vote as needed.

I was informed recently by a user who voted on a poll that when they clicked the link to vote, they were brought randomly to an outlook inbox and the poll was nowhere to be found. I had them do this in front of me and it did seem to just pull up an inbox in OWA, but no poll was found. This individual is using a mac; however, that is all the information I have regarding their device.

I cannot begin to trouble shoot this because I can't understand what is re-routing them to an inbox.

    The following fixed for me.

    In Firefox

    Menu > settings > privacy & security

    Under “enhanced Tracking protection” check the button for “custom”

    click the drop down menu next to Cookies and change the settings to “Cross-site tracking cookies”

    Enabling cross-site tracking cookies should work for other browsers as well.

    Hope it helps.

    Folks, I received a reply from Microsoft Tech/Eng:

    The issue happening here is currently being addressed by Microsoft engineer.

    I'll post a reply here when I get an update from the Microsoft support.

    I don't know what Microsoft has done to fix it, but I have found that if votees attempt to open the poll on their cellphones and vote that way, that does take them to the poll so they can vote. It's inconvenient, but it's a temporary fix.

    I have used the polls for some time and, in the past, they have worked as designed. Today is the first time the poll would not complete the scheduling process. I had to cancel the poll to get all the holds off my calendar and schedule the meeting in the calendar application myself.

    Hi

    Is there any update on this? I have a user with the same issue, and have tested it myself using my own personal Mac. The Vote button takes you to an Outlook for the web inbox. This is a major drawback for scheduling poll. Using a Private browser window made no difference.

    I have the same issue with the Vote button for Mac users. Incognito mode does not help. Copying the link and pasting it into a new tab does not help. Using a different browser does not help.

    Open to further troubleshooting suggestions!
