# How to use Offer Seats in Cal ID

> Turn a one-on-one Cal ID meeting into a group session by allowing multiple people to book the same time slot with configurable seat limits per event.

Let several people book the same time slot. In **Cal ID**, the **Offer seats** feature transforms a one-on-one meeting into a **group session** — perfect for **webinars**, classes, and **workshops** where multiple attendees need the same slot.

## Setting up offer seats

This setting defines how many people can attend a single event at the same time.

## Why use offer seats?

* **Host group sessions:** Easily manage classes, webinars, or team training where several people join at once.
* **Maximize efficiency:** Instead of repeating the same information five times, speak to five people in one hour.
* **Automatic status:** Once all the seats are filled, the system automatically hides that time slot so it cannot be overbooked.

<Note>
  Enabling Offer seats converts a one-on-one event type into a group booking: the same slot stays open to multiple attendees until every seat is taken.
</Note>

## How it works for the booker

* The first person to book selects the time slot as usual.
* The time slot **remains visible** on your booking page for others until the maximum number of seats has been filled.

* If you have a meeting with 20 seats and 13 are taken, the guest might see a message indicating how many spots are left.

## Important details

* **Individual confirmations:** Each person who books a seat receives their own confirmation email and calendar invite.
* **Availability:** The slot only disappears from your calendar once the **total number of seats** is reached, or if you manually mark yourself as busy during that time.

<Tip>
  **Scheduling a webinar or group discussion:** To host a one-time event (like a webinar or GD) at a very specific date and time, you can lock your seats into a single slot.
