# How to Schedule a Meeting through Cal ID?

Booking a meeting is simple — pick a time and secure your spot.

> **Host?** For your own link to send to clients, see [How to Find and Share Your Cal ID URL](https://help.cal.id/en/article/how-to-find-and-share-your-cal-id-url-1f6zk3u/).

| Step 1: Open the booking link

Open the Cal ID URL shared with you (e.g., `cal.id/username`). You'll see the available **event types** — click **Schedule** on the one you want.

| Step 2: Pick a date and time

* **Duration:** if the host offers multiple lengths, choose one on the left.
* **Date & time:** pick an available slot.
* **Timezone:** Cal ID detects yours automatically, but you can change it in the dropdown.

| Step 4: Confirmation

* **Instant:** you see a **Booking Confirmed** page, and the meeting link (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.) arrives in your confirmation email and calendar invite.

* **Requires confirmation:** if the host enabled it, your booking is a request — you'll get a confirmation or rejection email after they review it.

> **Note:** some hosts disable rescheduling and cancellation. If you don't see those options, the booking is final — contact the host directly for changes.
