Lockstep

EasyLife 365 Meet now gives organizers and participants better control over participation, temporary calendar blockers, and poll closure timing.

What’s new?

1. Anyone with the link can participate

   Organizers can now enable a new poll setting that allows authenticated users to add themselves as participants directly from the poll URL.

   • Existing participant permissions stay unchanged.
   • New participants can join and vote without organizer edits.
   • Organizers keep full control because the setting is optional and disabled by default.

2. Don't block my calendar for selected time slots

   Users can choose not to create temporary blocker entries for proposed time slots in their own calendar.

   • This setting affects only the current user.
   • Participants can decide their own blocker preference while voting.
   • Organizers can set their own preference while creating or editing a poll.

3. Set voting deadline

   Organizers can now define a deadline that automatically closes the poll when the selected date and time is reached.

   • EasyMeet stops accepting new votes after the deadline.
   • Poll closure is automatic at the configured time.
   • If auto-scheduling is enabled and a winner exists, EasyMeet can schedule the meeting automatically.

How these updates will affect you

• You can collect votes from a wider audience without manually adding each participant first.
• You can keep your personal calendar cleaner by opting out of temporary blockers.
• You can end polls on time with an automatic voting cutoff.
