Once a booker reaches the limit, they won’t be able to schedule another event through this link until one of their existing bookings is either **completed** or **canceled**. ### Example If you set the limit to **1**: * The booker can only have **one active booking** at a time. * Once that event is **over** or **canceled**, they can book again. > Example:
If someone books a session and you’ve set the limit to 1, they can’t schedule another one until the current event is finished. ***
Useful for teams where only the owner should control recordings. ### Automatic recording Starts recording automatically as soon as the organizer joins the room.
This removes the need for any manual action.
This works as a simple verification step. ### Post-Call Behavior **Redirect URL** Send participants to any URL after the meeting ends.
Common use cases include thank you pages, surveys, or onboarding flows. # Collective Events Source: https://cal.com/help/event-types/collective-events Collective event types are ideal when the booker needs to book a meeting with several team members at one time. With Cal.com Teams, you can easily create a team event type and select collective scheduling as the scheduling type. You can then pick exactly which team members should co-host this event type collectively.

However, you also have an option to put forward a common schedule for this specific event type which will be used as the availability and over-ride each member's availability for this event type.

# Limit future bookings Source: https://cal.com/help/event-types/limit-future-bookings If there is a period in the future after which you think managing your Cal.com events carries some level of uncertainty, with this feature, you can limit how far in the future your event can be booked. You can select how many calendar/business days will be displayed on your booking page as available for booking, or you can select a date range after there will be no slots showing. This can also be useful if you want to keep an eye on your immediate events to ensure no unwanted bookings appear on your calendar. Let's say you want to be available for bookings only two weeks ahead at any point in time. In your Event Type settings, select a number of days for how far into the future an invitee can book an event with you and set it to 14 calendar days. Now, bookers can only book you for two weeks ahead at any point in time.

# How to troubleshoot symbolic link issues on Windows
Source: https://cal.com/help/event-types/symbolic-issues
If you're using Cal.com self hosting instance on windows, you might be struggling with Prisma Environment variables not working. One of the reasons why this happens is because by default, symbolic links are disabled on windows OS.
