Managing the Zoom Scheduler Availability tab


Hosts can set their available hours in the Zoom Scheduler Availability tab on the Zoom web portal. They can select, edit, or create a new schedule that they can apply to any event type.

Additionally, each host can have their own schedule within a group booking. For individual events, organizers can select either a created schedule or create a new one that only applies to that specific booking schedule. For team events, organizers can choose to allow each host to use their own created schedule or set the same schedule of availability for all hosts within the booking creation screen.
