Available meeting dates will be highlighted on the calendar with a different color.

If some participants are unavailable at a specific time, you won't be able to select that time slot.

You may also add a message that will be sent to the participant with your meeting request. After you filled in all the fields, click on Send request. After that, a new info modal will be displayed with all the details about the meeting. The other participants will be notified of your meeting request when you send it, and they may decide whether to accept it or not. After they respond to your meeting request, you will get a notification of their response.
