Meeting Polls: Results View, Deadlines and Who Owns a Poll
How meeting polls work, where to find the poll results view, why you only see the participant view, and what a poll needs a meetergo account for
meetergo meeting polls streamline group scheduling by letting everyone vote on their preferred meeting times. Instead of endless back-and-forth messages, you propose multiple time slots, invitees vote on what works best for them, and you select the winning option. meetergo handles all the calendar invitations and meeting details automatically.
Where to find the poll results
There is no separate master link for the poll creator. The link you send out and the link that shows the results are the same address:
https://my.meetergo.com/poll/<poll id>
When meetergo recognizes you as the creator, the same page adds a host bar at the top (Manage, Send invitations, Share) and shows every vote. When it does not, you see the plain participant view: the proposed times and the option to vote.
Two ways to open the results:
- Signed in: open Polls in your meetergo dashboard and click the poll. Only polls that belong to your account are listed here.
- Not signed in: open the poll link itself. You must use the same browser you created the poll in (see below).
If you created your poll with the free poll tool on the meetergo website, the results view is still my.meetergo.com/poll/<poll id>. Take the poll id out of the link you shared and open that address.
Polls you created without an account
You can create a poll without a meetergo account. In that case the poll has no owner account, and meetergo remembers that you are the creator in that browser only (it stores a creator ID in the browser's local storage). meetergo shows a note on the poll for exactly this reason: "Your administrator rights may be lost if you delete your cookies."
You fall back to the participant view as soon as you:
- open the poll on another device or in another browser,
- open it in a private/incognito window,
- clear your cookies and site data, or
- use a browser that wipes site data automatically.
Keep the poll: create an account in the same browser
Open the poll in the browser you created it in and use the Create an account link on that note. When you complete the sign-up, meetergo transfers the poll to your new account, and from then on it appears under Polls on any device.
Only signing up transfers a guest poll. Signing in to an account you already have does not claim it, because the creator ID from the browser is only handed over during registration. Do this while the original browser still recognizes you as the creator.
If the browser data is already gone, the poll cannot be reassigned to you. Votes stay in the poll and participants can still vote, but nobody can open the host view, edit the times or send invitations. Create a new poll and share the new link.
What a poll needs an account for
| Action | Guest creator (browser only) | Signed-in owner |
|---|---|---|
| Vote in the poll | Yes, no account needed for anyone | Yes |
| See the results and who voted | Yes, in the original browser | Yes, from anywhere |
| Export the votes as CSV | Yes | Yes |
| Edit the poll (times, title, deadline) | No | Yes |
| Send invitations for the winning time | No | Yes |
| Rename or remove a participant | No | Yes |
| Delete the poll | No | Yes |
| Poll appears in the Polls list | No | Yes |
Poll settings and plans
Three settings are available once you are signed in on a paid plan (Light or higher). On the Free plan they carry a Pro badge and open the upgrade dialog instead.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Set deadline | Adds a voting deadline. Before it passes the poll shows Respond by …; after it passes it shows Deadline passed … and meetergo rejects further votes. Results stay visible. |
| Hide participant list | Replaces voter names and email addresses with Anonymous for everyone except the signed-in owner. A guest creator sees the anonymized list too, because meetergo can only recognize an account here. |
| Remove branding | Hides meetergo branding on the poll page. |
Without a deadline a poll simply stays open until you book a time or delete it.
Good use cases for meeting polls
- Organizing team meetings or project reviews
- Scheduling brainstorming sessions with multiple participants
- Coordinating feedback sessions with clients or stakeholders
- Planning social gatherings with friends or family members
- Setting up interviews with multiple interviewers
If you already know which few slots you want to offer and want the invitee to book one straight into your calendar, use Booking proposals instead.
How the voting process works
Share your poll link with anyone you want to include — they don't need accounts or special access to participate. Invitees click the link, review the proposed times, and select their preferences. You can track responses in real time; the results view refreshes itself while it is open.
When you're ready to lock in a time, you have two options: Book the meeting as a full appointment, or use Send invitations to email a calendar invitation directly to everyone who accepted the winning slot. See Setting Up a Meeting Poll for both flows.
Workflows and rescheduling are not supported for polls. Once you book the winning time it becomes a normal meetergo booking and behaves like any other booking from there on.
FAQ
I opened my poll link and only see the times, not the results
meetergo does not recognize you as the creator in that browser. Open the poll in the browser you created it in, or sign in to the account that owns the poll. See Polls you created without an account.
Where do I get the master link for evaluating my poll?
There is none. The results view is the poll link itself, my.meetergo.com/poll/<poll id>, shown with host controls once meetergo recognizes you as the creator.
Can I add or remove time slots after people have voted?
Yes, as the signed-in owner: Manage → Edit. Removing an option also deletes the votes that were cast for it, so participants may need to vote again.
Can I extend the voting deadline?
Yes. Open Manage → Edit and change the deadline, or switch Set deadline off to keep the poll open indefinitely.
What happens if not everyone votes?
You can still book based on the responses you received. If a key participant hasn't voted, follow up directly or add them manually when you book the meeting.
Can I create multiple polls for the same meeting?
Yes. Create a new poll with different time slots and share it with the same or a different group. Manage → Duplicate copies an existing poll including its settings.
