There are three different yearly subscription types for different needs with NeedToMeet. For basic use there is standard, or free, subscription. For a more robust experience with unlimited timeslot selection, a dashboard and contact sync, we have the Advanced subscription.

You do not need a NeedToMeet subscription to respond to a meeting poll. Please visit our pricing page for more detailed information: www.needtomeet.com/pricing

You can see the results using either the 'Attendee Link' or the 'Administrative Link' - all the attendees and their chosen time slots are summarized on this page.
We'll email you your unique meeting links so you don't lose them. We'll also email you whenever someone indicates their availability.
Just click on the 'Administrative Link' and then use the 'edit meeting' link in the upper right hand corner.
If you select 'all day' for the duration you'll be presented with a simplified monthly calendar where you can mark the available days.
In outlook, click on File / Options / Calendar. In the work time section, work week shows the days and if there are some without a check, add the check mark. Close outlook and restart outlook.
Click on the 'Administrative Link' we provided and from there you'll see a 'delete meeting' link in the upper right hand corner.
If you provided us with an email address then something must have gone wrong, sorry. Check your junk folder in case it's in there, otherwise just go ahead and create another meeting. If it happens again, send us an email at the address below and we'll try and figure out what went wrong.
Registered users can click on “My Meetings” to retrieve links. If you’re not registered we suggest that you contact one of the attendees to get the 'Attendee Link'. This should be sufficient unless you need to make changes to the meeting.
The timezone is automatically retrieved from your browser. Attendees responding to a meeting will see the time adjusted to their local timezone.
Fret not - send us an email at support@needtomeet.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we can!
Currently there is no feature to allow you to copy a meeting as a template for future meetings but this under consideration for a future enhancement to our product.
To add more timeslots to a meeting, from the Meeting Links email or if you've saved your Meeting Links manually, open the Organizer Link. In the Meeting Admin box, click on EDIT. On the Edit Meeting screen, click Next. Add your additional timeslots and click Save Changes. Your attendees will be notified.
You can see who has responded to your meeting by opening the Organizer Meeting Link. When a meeting is created, the last step provides a link to the Organizer page. You will need to copy this link for future reference or, if you supplied an email address or used a registered account, you would also have received your meeting links in your inbox.
Once a meeting has been created, the Meeting Options, such as Single Attendee per Timeslot, Keep Responses Private, Allow Attendees to follow meetings cannot be changed. The meeting will need to be cancelled and a new meeting created.
No, there is currently not a way to prevent invitees from changing their responses or deleting themselves from a meeting.

When viewing someone's personal URL calendar, you are seeing it in the timezone of the viewing browser, not the owner's timezone. If you request an appointment, it will adjust to the owner's timezone automatically. For example, I select 1pm EST time on Joe Smith's calendar. Joe Smith (CT) will receive the request for 12pm.
When you receive a 404 error, there was no calendar published from Outlook or a mobile device so there is no data available to display. Using the Outlook Add-in or a mobile device, go to NeedToMeet settings and publish one or more calendars to NeedToMeet.
You can publish a calendar from the Outlook Add-in or from a Mobile Device using NeedToMeet. Go into NeedToMeet Settings, then Calendar, and publish your calendar data using the options provided for privacy. You can then provide your personal URL, found on the Account page, (ie http://www.needtomeet.com/yourusername) to those you would like to direct to your calendar information or post it on a social or business website for wider access.
When logged into your NeedToMeet account, under Account Settings go to the Contacts section. Find a user you would like to have as a member of your group. At the end of their row, click on the group icon. Enter a group name to create a new group. Click Add. For additional members, navigate to their name in your contacts. At the end of the row, click on the group icon and check the box next to an existing group name. Repeat for any additional members.
