A team mutual availability booking page checks the availability of more than one team member, and display booking times when all are open for bookings.
This article will walk you through setting up a mutual availability booking page. Check out these guides to creating a team booking page, or an individual booking page for a team member.
This feature is available on the Teams plan.

Checking multiple team member calendars
When YouCanBook.me checks multiple calendars for availability, only free time across all calendars will be available for booking on the YouCanBook.me side, so your booker will only select a time when all parties are available to meet.
🌎 Note about timezones
When you're checking multiple team members calendars, the timezone of the booking page will be anchored to the calendar where the booking is created. Ensure the working hours on this booking page work for all team members when they are in different timezones.
- Go to the "Who" section to access the Calendar & Teams. Click on "Edit" to choose the calendars that YouCanBook.me should monitor for availability.
- Check the box next to the calendars you would like this booking page to check for availability, and deselect any calendars you don't want checked. When all the calendars are correctly selected, click Next.
- Select which calendar the booking will be added to. This calendar will determine the timezone of the booking page, and will also send the calendar invitation to your booker. The rest of the participants will be added to the calendar event in the following step. When done, click Finish & Save.
Adding bookings to all calendars
To include the booking in everyone's calendar, utilize the "Invite participants" function in the Calendar events section. Enter the email addresses of the team members who wish to have the booking on their calendar. You can also add the email address of any shared resource you want to book. To remove an email address, simply click the 'x' next to the email.
Setting availability on a mutual availability booking page
Repeating availability is the recommended setup on this booking page configuration.
Navigate to the "When" section, Duration & availability, and specify the hours when your team members can accept bookings. Any conflicting busy times on their calendars will prevent those specific times from being available for booking.
Sharing Zoom links on mutual availability booking pages
On a team account, using the native Zoom integration will mean the Zoom link is generated from the Account Owner's Zoom account.
If the Account Owner is not being booked on this page, it is recommended to use a static zoom link on mutual availability booking pages.
💡 Using the Google Meet Integration
Using Google Meet, the link will generate from the Google calendar where the booking is created.
