#### When will I be marked as available? <a href="#h_01fr2pt8xp2nkamk19mbqpm66q" id="h_01fr2pt8xp2nkamk19mbqpm66q"></a>

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.*
