Use the Look Busy feature in Cal ID to show only a percentage of your open slots on the booking page to manage meeting load and create urgency.
Show bookers only a percentage of your real open slots. The Look Busy feature hides part of your availability to create a sense of urgency and manage your meeting load, without changing your actual schedule.
From your main dashboard, click the Event Types tab in the left-hand sidebar.

Look Busy only affects what bookers see — your real availability is untouched, so you can still manually block or open time whenever you need to.
If you’re available all day Monday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (8 hours total) but set Look Busy to 50%, Cal ID shows only 4 hours worth of slots to your bookers, making your calendar look more in-demand while reserving the rest of the time for yourself.
