Common Questions

Does it work for recurring office hours?

Yes! Create a poll with all your available slots for the semester. Students can pick times that work, and you can reuse the poll week after week. Or create a new poll each week — it only takes 60 seconds.

Do students need to create an account?

No! That's the whole point. Students just click your link and pick their availability. No passwords, no email verification, no friction. This is why response rates are so high.

Can I set specific time windows for students to choose from?

Absolutely. When creating a poll, you can add specific time slots (e.g., “Monday 2-4pm”, “Wednesday 10-11am”). Students see only the times you offer. You control the options.

Is there a limit on how many students can respond?

No limits on participants. Whether you have 5 students or 500 in your lecture, everyone can vote on your poll. The free tier covers 10 polls/month with unlimited responses per poll.
