Collective event types are ideal when a booker needs to meet with several team members at once. Cal ID finds a time that works for everyone and puts them all on the same booking. In a collective event, **all selected co-hosts must attend** the meeting. Cal ID only offers slots where every co-host is free, so the booker always lands on a time that works for the entire group. ## Create a collective event From your team, create a new event type and select **Collective** as the scheduling type. Choose exactly which team members should co-host this event type collectively.

Selecting collective scheduling and co-hosts

By default, Cal ID evaluates availability based on each member's individual schedule. You can instead put forward a **common schedule** for this specific event type, which overrides each member's availability for this event only.

Setting a common schedule for a collective event

When you need a group of team members to attend the same meeting, collective events are fantastic. Seeking a convenient time for all of your team members to attend is a breeze with this method. ## Next steps Distribute bookings across a rotating pool instead of gathering everyone. Review how shared and individual schedules combine for your team. ## Related topics - [Round-Robin Scheduling](/docs/teams/round-robin.md) - [Managed Events](/docs/teams/managed.md) - [Team Availability](/docs/availability/team-availability.md) - [Internal Team Meeting](/docs/teams/internal-meeting.md) - [Teams in Cal ID](/docs/teams/overview.md)
