How to Set Up Availability for Meetings

The Meeting Module allows organizers and participants to manage availability and unavailability (blocked time) for scheduling meetings. By default, all users are considered available for the entire event duration. If networking hours are configured, users are only considered available during those defined time slots. Users can mark specific time periods as unavailable to prevent meetings from being scheduled during those times.

How Availability Works

  • Default Availability: Full event duration
  • With Networking Hours: Availability is limited to defined networking time
  • Custom Unavailability: Users can block specific time slots


Note: If networking hours are set, users can only add unavailability within those time ranges.

How Unavailability Impacts Meeting Booking

  • While booking a meeting, the system will:
    • Automatically exclude all unavailable (blocked) time slots for selected participants.
    • Only show available time slots based on:
      • User availability
      • Networking hours
      • Event timing

This ensures meetings can only be scheduled when all participants are actually available.

How to View Unavailability (Backend)

Organizers can view all blocked time slots added by users:

  1. Go to Event Backend.
  2. Navigate to Networking → Meetings → Unavailabilities.
  3. View the list of:
    • User names
