Frequently asked questions
What is a scheduling poll?
A scheduling poll is a way to find a meeting time that works for a group without endless email chains. You suggest several time options, send the poll to participants, and they vote on which times work for them.
How do I create a free scheduling poll?
Enter a title at the top of this page, add the time options you want to suggest, then share the link with participants via WhatsApp, email, or any messenger. You don’t need to create an account.
Do participants need to register to vote?
No. Participants click the link, see the time options, and pick their availability. Nothing else needed.
How is Whocan different from Doodle?
Doodle requires participants (and often the organizer) to create an account, and the free version is heavily ad-supported. Whocan is free, ad-free, and works without any accounts.
Can I use Whocan instead of Outlook Scheduling Poll?
Yes. Outlook Scheduling Poll works best when everyone is inside the same Microsoft 365 organization. Whocan works for everyone with a link — inside or outside any company.
Can I share the poll via WhatsApp?
Yes. After creating the poll, you get a shareable link that works in WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, iMessage, email, or anywhere else.
How many participants can vote on a poll?
Unlimited. There is no participant cap in Whocan.
Can participants leave comments?
Yes. Participants can leave private or public comments while voting — useful for noting constraints (“only available after 5pm”) without cluttering the result.
Is Whocan really free?
Yes. There’s no paid tier required for scheduling polls. We’re ad-supported, and we keep ads non-intrusive.
Can I limit the number of participants per time slot?
Yes. When setting up the poll, you can cap participation per option — useful for events with capacity constraints.
