Zoom Scheduler meeting types

One-to-One meeting

A One-to-One meeting is the standard Zoom Scheduler meeting type. In a One-to-One meeting, the attendee books exclusive time with the host. If the host permits, the attendee can invite additional attendees to their booked One-to-One meeting.

Example use cases: A performance review or music lesson.

One-to-Many meeting

Multiple attendees can claim the same booking slot and attend a One-to-Many meeting instead of only one attendee being able to claim the appointment. The complete attendee list is visible in the calendar invite.

Example use cases: A yoga class or employee onboarding.

One-Off meeting

A One-Off meeting is a Zoom Scheduler meeting outside a host’s usual booking calendar. It is a single-use meeting that is removed from your calendar once it is concluded. One-off meetings are useful for flexible, spontaneous meeting scheduling.

Example use case: An impromptu customer meeting or after-hours meeting.

Any Host Available meeting

An Any Host Available meeting is where multiple possible hosts can be assigned to host the scheduled event when it occurs. Creating a booking calendar with the Any Host Available meeting type generates a rotating schedule for the assigned hosts, cycling through them as attendees book meetings.

Example use cases: A customer support call queue or rotation of product experts.

All Hosts Available meeting

Differing from the Any Host Available meeting, with an All Hosts Available meeting, the meeting does not start unless all of the hosts assigned to the booked meeting are available. This meeting type allows a prospective attendee to book an appointment with a panel of hosts, rather than a single host.

Example use cases: A panel interview or a complex troubleshooting session.

Availability Poll

The Availability Poll meeting type allows prospective attendees to vote on which dates and times within the host’s availability work best for them. Once votes are submitted, the host generates a One-Off meeting based on the dates/times submitted by users who want to attend.

Example use cases: Meetings with users across different organizations or time zones.
