Question

I have 1-1 event type set up, where people will book in a time for a teams  or zoom meeting. This meeting will also be sent to another person (outside my organisation) to attend. If circumstances arise that I am unavailable, will the other person be able to start the meeting?

Hi ​@Belinda32787 - Thanks for reaching out!

This is something that would need to be configured in Zoom or Teams, not Calendly.

I was able to find an article for Zoom that allows users to join the meeting before the host - This way they won't be stuck in a waiting room if you’re unavailable:

Let me know if you have any questions!
