What is mutual availability?
If you're logged in to your Calendly account, and you visit another Calendly user's booking page, you'll see your calendar on the right-hand side. Only you can see your calendar and upcoming meetings.
With this view, you’ll also see green dots next to times that you and your host are both available to meet.
Since you can see your upcoming meetings, you can decide their priority. If you'd like, you can schedule over an existing meeting to prioritize the new meeting, but you'll need to separately reschedule the existing meeting.
Time format settings
Your calendar will display in a 12-hour (am/pm) or 24-hour format, depending on your selected time format in your Account Settings. For more details, view To change how your own availability is displayed.
If your host has selected a different time format than you, you can adjust how their times are displayed to you by toggling the Time Zone setting on their booking page.
