See everyone's availability and book

Once people have shared their availability, you can see the group's combined free time, pick a slot that suits everyone, and book it as a real event on the group's calendar.

Before you start

You need to be a participant in the meeting — that is, you've shared your availability at least once (the person who proposed the meeting always is). Booking works best after most of the group has shared, but you don't have to wait for everyone.

  1. On the meeting proposal in the group chat, click the More... (three-dots) button, then choose View Availabilities (its tooltip reads "View the group's availabilities..."). The Schedule the meeting dialog opens.

  2. Hover over the calendar to see who's free for each slot — a count shows how many are Available, and anyone unavailable is listed by name.

      }
    }
  3. Drag across a slot to preview the meeting as an event there. To adjust its name or description, click the previewed event and edit the Meeting details.

  4. Click Schedule the meeting. Latte adds the event to the group's calendar and archives the meeting — everyone sees it in the chat and on their calendar.

Good to know

A meeting can be booked once. After the event is scheduled the meeting is archived, and reopening it shows "This meeting is archived. An event has already been scheduled." Need a different time? Start a new meeting.
