- The default meeting location is a Teams meeting, you can adjust this as you like and may want to change the meeting type accordingly.

- While you would typically choose to use your regular hours, you can choose custom hours if you wish.
- If you desire to do so, click into show advanced options.
- You can set buffer time before and after meetings.
- Start time intervals refers to available start times. For example 1 hour intervals would allow start times of 1pm, 2pm, etc.
