A When2meet poll without painting a grid

Propose a few times, share one link, and let everyone vote Yes, Maybe or No. The people you invite see no ads and do not sign up, and you lock the time most people can make.

How the poll works in four steps

  1. Tap the times you can offer

    Open the weekly calendar and tap the slots worth putting to a vote. Drag to lengthen a block, drag an edge to change the duration, and hold shift to select several at once. Three to six candidates is the sweet spot.

  2. Share one poll link

    Every poll gets a single unlisted link. Paste it into Slack, Teams, WhatsApp or an email thread. The people you invite never create an account, which makes the biggest difference to how many of them answer.

  3. Collect Yes, Maybe or No per slot

    Each person answers every proposed time. The tally under each slot updates live, and times render in each voter's own time zone, so nobody converts hours in their head and gets it wrong.

  4. Lock the time

    The best-supported slot is highlighted. Lock it, let Decider create a Jitsi video link if the meeting is remote, and everyone adds it to Google, Outlook, Apple or Yahoo Calendar in one tap with the meeting link inside the invite.

Availability grid vs. time poll

What each person does

Grid: Paints every hour they are free onto a full week grid.

Decider: Answers a handful of concrete slots Yes, Maybe or No.

What you get back

Grid: A heatmap you still have to read and interpret yourself.

Decider: A ranked result with the strongest time highlighted.

Ads on the voting page

Grid: When2meet shows ads to the people you invited.

Decider: No ads anywhere on the Decider voting page.

Time zones

Grid: Requires each person to set a zone correctly up front.

Decider: Every slot renders in the viewer's own local time automatically.

Finishing the decision

Grid: You announce the time manually in chat afterwards.

Decider: Lock the slot and everyone can add it to their calendar.

Managing the poll later

When2meet poll questions

What is a When2meet poll?

People usually mean one of two things: the availability grid that When2meet itself offers, or any poll used to find a group meeting time. Decider does the second, using concrete proposed times and Yes, Maybe or No votes instead of a painted grid.

Is Decider a free When2meet alternative?

Yes. Creating a poll is free, the people you invite vote for free without signing up, and there are no ads on the voting page.

Do voters need an account?

No. They open the link, enter a name, and answer each proposed time. Only the organizer signs in, so the poll can be managed and the final time locked.

Which is better, an availability grid or a poll?

A grid is useful when no day stands out and you want wide-open availability. A poll is less work when you already know a few plausible times, because each person answers only those, and the result is a decision rather than data to interpret.

How does it handle people in other countries?

Each proposed slot is converted to the viewer's own time zone automatically, so a colleague abroad sees their correct local hour without doing any math.

Can I change the times after sharing the poll?

Not in the same poll: once it is shared, the times stay fixed so every vote keeps its meaning. If the options were wrong, create a new poll and send the new link.
