Questions
How does the group poll work?
You pick a few possible times and share the poll link. Each person enters their name and marks every time Yes, If need be or No. Cals ranks the times (Yes counts 1, If need be counts half), and you pick the final one.
Is it free?
Yes. Polls are free, with no ads and no account. Polls are removed 60 days after they are created.
Do voters need an account?
No. Voters only type their name. Nobody needs an account, including you.
How are time zones handled?
You pick times in your own time zone. Everyone who opens the poll sees the times converted to theirs, and the time zone is always shown.
Can people change their answers?
Yes. On the same device and browser, people can reopen the poll and update their answers until you close it.
