We’ve added a visual indicator to show which teammates have connected their calendars and which have not. This badge improves transparency and makes it easier to see who has completed calendar integration—especially helpful when using the '''Team Scheduling feature''' for internal meetings.<br> | |||
If a teammate hasn’t connected a calendar, you’ll see the status badge '''User did not connect a calendar''' next to their name in the '''Teammates Calendar View''' within the SimplyMeet.me Calendar.<br> | |||
This update helps teams schedule meetings more efficiently and prevents confusion caused by unavailable or missing calendar data. | |||

'''Scheduling Meetings on Behalf of a Teammate''' | |||
1. Open the '''Teammates''' Calendar View and click on an available time slot.<br> | |||
2. From the '''Meeting Type''' drop-down, select a personal meeting type for the teammate.<br> | |||
3. Optionally, exclude yourself from the participant list to avoid receiving notifications about the meeting.<br> | |||
4. Fill in the meeting details and confirm the appointment.<br> | |||
5. The selected teammate will be the meeting host. | |||

==Participant Availability Check== | |||
To ensure smoother scheduling, our meeting booking form includes a built-in participant availability check.<br> | |||
;How it works: | |||
* When scheduling a meeting, the system automatically checks the availability of all added participants from your organization for the selected time. | |||
* If everyone is available, the meeting is booked without any issues. | |||
* If someone is unavailable, an error message appears: | |||
: - Notifies that one or more participants are unavailable. | |||
: - Highlights the specific email addresses of those who are unavailable. | |||
At that point, the user can choose to: | |||
* Proceed with scheduling the meeting, keeping all participants — even if some are unavailable (all participants receive the meeting invite). | |||
* Remove the unavailable participant(s) and continue with only those who are free (the kept participants receive the invite). | |||
