Where you meet, said once

The event type editor for Product demo, a round robin: Where is Video call, and each host is listed with their video call. Kai Lin uses Microsoft Teams, Lee Park hasn’t set one up and sends the link, and you use your own link.

An event type picked a video service from a list, and whether its link worked depended on each host’s booking calendar. In a team where some hosts use Google and some use Outlook, some bookings got no link, and nothing said why.

Now an event type says where you meet: a video call, in person, a phone call or somewhere else. A video call is each host’s own, set once under Calendars: Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or your own link. The editor lists every host with theirs, and says who still has to set one up.

Improvements

4
  • Phone calls: the booking form asks for the invitee’s number, and the host calls them. It starts from the country of the invitee’s time zone, checks that the number is a real one there, and says it back in full before they book. The confirmation, the emails and the calendar event say who calls whom.
  • In person: the editor suggests addresses as you type, from OpenStreetMap, nearest you first. Invitees get the address once they book, with a link to it in Google Maps. Before that, your page says In person.
  • One link for everyone still works, for a shared room or a webinar.
  • AI assistants set where you meet with `where`, and your video call with set_my_video_call.
