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.

    I was able to collect votes on my options in the Scheduling Poll, but when I try to schedule the meeting, I get a popout screen, and may see, for a moment, what looks like a calendar event setup, then everything goes white and stops working. I've tried Firefox and Edge - same issues in both browsers.

    I have had similar issues recently. I basically had to leave the poll open and send the votees a schedule event (that I created) so that we could finalize the voting. This software is not user-friendly and does require folks to improvise quite a bit. I'm not fan, but hope that this helps you with the white screen issue.

    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.

    I am noticing a persistent issue now too. I have different Microsoft accounts (because of work and school), and I am unable to access the scheduling dashboards for all accounts except one. Each time I click to view a poll I created from a specific account, I get looped to the dashboard of another account.

    I wish MS will just add an app or button that directly displays your dashboard instead of having to go through the invites you sent or your calendar.

    Has there been any known solutions? I am having the same issues where Scheduling Poll link created by my co-workers takes me to my own Web Inbox.
