# Meeting polls

### Overview

Meeting polls let multiple invitees vote on times that work for a single event, so the organizer can pick the option that works best for everyone's schedule. This takes the back-and-forth out of finding a time across a group.

### How It Works

When you create a meeting poll, you propose a set of candidate times and share the poll link with your invitees. Each invitee selects which times work for them. Once enough responses are in, the organizer reviews the votes and finalizes the time that works best for the group. Once finalized, zcal automatically sends a calendar invitation for the event to all invitees.

### Key Benefits

* **Group consensus:** Find a time that works for everyone without endless email threads or chat messages.
* **Multiple voters:** Any number of invitees can weigh in on the same poll.
* **Automatic invitations:** Once the organizer picks the final time, zcal sends calendar invitations to all invitees automatically.
* **No team required:** Meeting polls can be set up on any zcal account without needing to create a team.

### Common Use Cases

* **Team Meetings:** Coordinate recurring or one-off team meetings across multiple schedules.
* **Conference Calls:** Find a time that works for everyone joining a multi-party call, including across time zones.
* **Project Kickoffs:** Align stakeholders from different groups on a single meeting time.
* **Client Calls with Multiple Attendees:** Pick a time that works for both your team and the client's team.
