Microsoft FindTime is an add-in for Outlook that helps to simplify scheduling, reducing the amount of communication required to work around busy schedules for meetings. FindTime reads user free/busy status information to determine possible meetings time. Users can then send a poll with the various meeting times to attendees, and attendees can vote to choose the best time for them. Once a consensus is reached, FindTime will automatically send out meeting invites for the chosen time.
Note:
Microsoft FindTime requires an Office 365 or enterprise account that uses Exchange Online, so most personal accounts won't work.
Recipients using Gmail and Yahoo! can respond to FindTime polls sent to them.
FindTime should already be accessible to all Lambton College accounts. If not, follow the steps below to install.
