    We noticed this issue about "Record names" setting not taking effect for Teams/Outlook Polls. We have fixed it. Please try it again. Thanks all.

    The issues is not resolved.

    I can only see some of the names in the Poll.

    Which means I have the correct rights. Why is the poll not recording all the names?

    The most cryptic part is that it shows names in my organization and out of my organization. Why?

        GideonHuang.

        When I review the poll it only shows some of the names. There rest are entries showing anonymous. From the names I can see it includes a mix of people within my organization and some from external meeting invitees. I hope this is clearer.

    Thank you, indeed some of the issues have been resolved. Unfortunately, still some names are filled in anonymous for external people. Any suggestion for this?

    GideonHuang - Is it possible to get the correct data from the poll I ran that didn't record properly?  I don't have the option to do the same poll again and need to gather the correct data from this one.

      Unfortunately, the issued Polls can't be corrected as the respondents' names were not saved.

    This means we have to remake the polls? My poll still shows anonymous answers
