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 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.

    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.

    Yes, have there been any solutions? I am not seeing this issue with a faculty member - she is on a Mac and has tried various browsers, cleared cache, etc. - but the issue persists.

    I second this question. Has there been any attempt to look into or resolve this? It is essentially a deal-breaker for us as I am not able to use a tool with such unreliable performance.

    Hello all,

    I am having the same issue here, after reading some of the replies here, I am wondering if this issue pertain's to Microsoft's end.

    Situation: Did a test schedule poll between my account and a test account I stood up. Selected the times and poll is sent out. Test account received it but when click on "Vote", it will open up a new tab and display a spinning/loading animation to no avail.

    For context, this test has been done strictly between OWA and through multiple browsers (Chrome, Edge, FireFox) default and incognito modes, as well as different OS (Mac & Win, though it may not matter)

    Could a Microsoft Tech/Rep please look into this issue? Thank you!
