# Schedule a meeting

Schedule a meeting when you need people to show up at a set time. dMeet emails the invitations and adds the meeting to the invitees' Meetings section.

### Who can use it

Anyone signed in to dMeet. Invitations are sent by email.

### Schedule a meeting

1. On the **Home** screen tap **Schedule a Meet**, or open **Meetings** and tap **Schedule a meeting**.
2. Fill in the details:
   * **Meeting title**, so people know what it's about
   * **Date**, only in the future
   * **Time**, in the time zone you choose (your current one by default)
   * **Duration**
   * **Participants**, added by email. Add at least one person; you can't invite yourself
3. Tap **Schedule a meeting**.

### Inviting participants

Each person you invite gets an email invitation. If they already use dMeet, the meeting also appears in their **Meetings** section under **Upcoming**.

You get an email too, as the host. Each email has buttons to add the meeting to Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar, or to download an ICS file. If you've connected Google Calendar in dMeet, the meeting is added to it automatically.

{% hint style="success" %}
If someone doesn't have a dMeet account yet, the meeting appears for them automatically once they sign up with the same email.
{% endhint %}

### Managing a scheduled meeting

As the host, you can:

* Edit the title, date, time or duration
* Add or remove participants
* Cancel the meeting
* Join the meeting

When you change the date, time or duration, every participant gets an update email.

Participants see the meeting details and who else is invited, but can't edit anything. They can decline, so you know not to expect them.

### When the meeting starts

When the meeting starts, everyone invited gets a reminder email. To join, open the meeting in **Meetings** under **Upcoming** and tap **Join meeting**, or use the **Join meeting** button in the invitation email.

### Team meetings

If you're in a [Team Workspace](https://docs.dmeet.org/teams/team-workspace), a meeting you schedule in the Workspace becomes a team meeting: its summary and recording belong to the Workspace.

### Good to know

* Scheduled meetings have a [waiting room](https://docs.dmeet.org/meetings/waiting-room) on by default. You can turn it off in the meeting settings.
* To prevent spam, a host can send up to **30 meeting invitations per day**. If you reach the limit, try again the next day.
* If several participants report a host for unwanted invitations, the host may lose the ability to schedule meetings.
* If a participant blocks a host, the host can't schedule meetings with them, call them or message them.
