Your availability options are beneficial so students can book the exact times where you will be available. You can set the times you can meet one-on-one in 15 or 30 minutes blocks, add exceptions if you'll be off at a specific time, all handled in everybody's timezone automatically in just a few clicks.

You can get to your Availability settings by clicking the arrow next to your profile picture.

Add hours when you are available to meet with your Students. These will be the hours your students see in order to book a Live Video Meeting with you.

The platform already does the math if people are in a different timezone so you don't have to, so make sure you select the right timezone when settings this up. This way, both you and your students will know exactly when the meetings take place in their own timezone automatically.

Here is also where you select if you want students to be able to select 15 or 30-minute blocks. Select the one you like best.

You will get a notification and the slot that the student booked. The slot will become unavailable for other students to book. As soon as they book it, it will show up on your, and your student's, Upcoming Video Meetings tab.

Need to make a change to your schedule?

Maybe you're going to be out of town for a week and can't be booked during that time. You can add an exception to your general availability that covers a specific time period! Simply click the MANAGE SCHEDULES button at the top left corner and make your changes for the dates you need.
