# Host Meetings with Cal ID Rooms

## How it works
Unlike platforms that reuse a permanent link, Cal ID Rooms creates a unique room for each booking. When a booking uses Cal ID Rooms:
* A unique meeting URL is generated for that booking.
* The room opens when the first attendee joins.
* Access is limited to that booking, so there are no permanent links that could be shared by accident.
## Install Cal ID Rooms
Log in to Cal ID and open [Apps](https://cal.id/apps).
Search for **Cal ID Rooms**, open it, and click **Install**.
Choose the **Personal** or **Team** account to install it on.
Cal ID lists that account's event types. Select the ones where you want Cal ID Rooms as the location, or click **Set Up Later**.
## Set Cal ID Rooms as your meeting location
Go to [Event Types](https://cal.id/event-types) and open the event type.
Open the **Event Setup** tab.
In the **Location** field, select **Cal ID Rooms**.
Click **Save**.
Every new booking for that event type gets a Cal ID Rooms link automatically, and hosts and attendees join right from the booking.
Existing bookings keep their original location. To switch one, go to **Bookings**, open it, click **Edit Location**, select **Cal ID Rooms**, and save.
## Recording meetings
Recording is available on **Business** and **Enterprise** plans, when the event type uses Cal ID Rooms and you're a host.
Open the meeting from the booking.
Click **Record** in the top right of the meeting window to start.
Click **Stop Recording** in the same place when finished. The recording processes automatically after the meeting.
## View and download recordings
Go to **Bookings** and open the recorded meeting.
Click the three-dot (⋮) menu on the booking and select **View Recording**.
Watch it online or download it. Each recording stays attached to its booking.
Recordings stay available while you're on a Business or Enterprise plan. If you downgrade to free, existing recordings are kept for 90 days, then permanently removed.
