Cal.com references and operating notes

Documentation checked 2026-09-23. Inspect the current interface and the account's feature availability instead of relying on fixed screen coordinates or old screenshots.

Event types guide: personal links serve individual hosts; managed types distribute standard settings to selected teammates; collective types require multiple hosts; round robin distributes meetings among hosts. Create/select the event type, configure its details, assign hosts where relevant, then attach availability. Team capabilities depend on the account.

Date overrides: open Availability, select the schedule, add date-specific hours or unavailable days, and save. Overrides affect event types using that schedule. Use a dedicated conference schedule to avoid unintentionally changing unrelated links. Verify the event's date range separately.

Minimum notice: configure the notice interval under the event type's Limits controls. This limits how soon someone can book; it is separate from the buffer around an appointment.

Calendar settings overview: calendar configuration includes selecting calendars to check for conflicts. A connected calendar account and a booking destination are not substitutes for verifying that selection for each host.

Troubleshooting feature: use the diagnostic view to investigate availability restrictions from schedules, connected calendars and booking limits. Verify the resulting public page after a correction.

Operational lessons: an unanswered all-day conference invitation can still be Busy; a template can be correct while one host's calendar suppresses every slot; a buffer does not necessarily create an equally spaced booking grid; date boundaries must be tested in the venue and visitor timezones. These are diagnostic possibilities, not instructions to weaken conflict checking.
