3. Edit a meeting type or create a new one.

4. Set the booking settings on live now or both.

5. Save the changes.

When will I be marked as available?

To be shown as available in a live now form you need:

1. To be assigned to that particular meeting type / form

2. To be logged in to 24sessions

3. To have a free calendar for the upcoming hour.

4. Enable Browser notifications OR have the 'Meetings Overview - Live Now' page open in your browser

Important: to make sure you are marked as available and don't miss any incoming meetings we highly recommend enabling Browser notifications.

How to enable browser notifications?

Step 1: Go to the meetings overview page Step 2: Click on the live now tab Step 3: Select the checkbox 'Enable notifications'

Now you are available for direct meetings with clients. You only need to lead them to the booking form or embed it on your website. This is how it looks:
