Everyone marks their time
People tap “I’m in” and mark when they are free, right in the group.
Lock it in
MeetCal suggests the common times, the organizer picks one, and everyone gets a confirmation.
When Doodle fits better
Doodle is the better choice when participants are not on Telegram, for example clients or a large mixed group, and you want a poll link that works by email.
Questions
Can people outside Telegram vote?
No. Voting happens in the Telegram group, so everyone needs to be a member.
Does Doodle work in Telegram?
Doodle does not mention Telegram on its site. You can share a Doodle poll link in a chat, and people vote on Doodle’s web page.
