PRODUCT GUIDE

Configure round robin scheduling

Balance bookings fairly across an available team.

Short answer: Balance bookings fairly across an available team. Begin with “Choose eligible hosts and define the availability each contributes.” and verify the result through the public participant path.

Round robin offers a team's combined free time and assigns each booking to one host by a rule. It is documented on the team scheduling page. The round robin guide explains eligibility, distribution, and ownership.

Before you start

  • The list of eligible hosts and the hours each contributes.
  • A distribution rule: equal share or first available.
  • What happens when the guest already has an owner.

How to complete this task

  1. Choose eligible hosts and define the availability each contributes.
  2. Select a distribution rule and decide how existing ownership behaves.
  3. Test equal availability, no availability, and an absent team member.
  4. Review assignment outcomes instead of assuming equal booking counts.

Finish by opening the public link in a signed-out browser: a saved setting is not proof that the guest path works.

Troubleshooting

The problems people report most often with this task, and the cause behind each one.

One host receives most bookings.

Distribution follows availability. A host who publishes more open hours will absorb more meetings regardless of the rule — compare contributed availability before changing the algorithm.

A host on leave is still being booked.

Their availability was not removed. Round robin distributes among eligible hosts; eligibility has to be withdrawn explicitly.

No times appear when several hosts are eligible.

Check whether the rule requires all hosts rather than any host. That is collective scheduling, and it produces far narrower availability.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what organizers ask most about this task.

How does round-robin scheduling assign meetings?

It offers the combined availability of eligible hosts and assigns each booking to one of them according to a distribution rule such as equal share, availability, or priority.

Why does one host get more meetings?

Because they publish more open hours. Distribution follows availability, so compare contributed hours before concluding the rule is unfair.

What happens when a host is on leave?

Remove their availability or their eligibility. Round robin keeps assigning to anyone still eligible, so absence has to be expressed explicitly.

Should round robin override account ownership?

No. Check ownership first and route known accounts to their existing owner; use round robin only for genuinely unassigned demand.
