Step 4 - Enter the details, including a title, and the duration of slots (10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc...) which will be bookable.
Step 5 - To add more information, like a location or more detailed description, click More options.
*'''Tip:''' If you want to make the appointment block repeat, do so before you invite others to reserve a slot. When you make an existing appointment block with reserved slots repeat, the reserved slots get duplicated as new slots and double booking can occur.
==='''Please don't''' Add guests to the appointment block!===
*'''Pro Tip:''' Don’t add people who want to reserve an individual appointment slot. Instead, send them a link to the appointments page (see below).
===How to Invite others to reserve an appointment slot===
After you've set up the appointment block, you can invite people to reserve a slot with a link to your appointments page (a web page which shows all of your available appointment blocks).
'''Step 1 -''' Open Google Calendar.
'''Step 2 -''' Click your appointment block and then '''''Go to appointment page for this calendar'''''.

'''Step 3 -''' Copy and paste the appointment page link from your browser.

'''Step 4 -''' Post this link to Schoology, or send this link to people who want to reserve an appointment slot.
'''Important Note!''' The bookable appointment slots themselves won't show the option to "Join Google Meet", but '''once someone books an appointment with you the "Join Hangouts Meet" option will automatically appear in the booked calendar event'''.

<br />
Students simply click on one of these silver appointment slots to create an appointment with you.

Once created, that appointment looks like any other event on your calendar and includes a Google Hangouts Meet link for conferencing.
Each individual student's name is automatically added to the appointment they book, as in the picture below.
