Set Event Location

Setting the Location for Your Event


In Cal ID, the location determines where the meeting happens—whether it's a digital space, a physical office, or a phone call. You can even give your guests the freedom to choose their preferred spot.


Supported Location Types


Cal ID offers a wide variety of ways to connect. When setting up your event, you can choose from:


  • In Person: Ideal for physical venues. This accepts a text input where you can type a specific address or office name.
  • Link: Use this for a custom or permanent meeting link (like a static personal Zoom room or a proprietary URL).
  • Attendee Phone Number: Cal ID will prompt the guest to provide their phone number during booking so you can call them.
  • Organizer Phone Number: You provide your own phone number as the designated meeting spot for the guest to call.
  • Jitsi Video Global: Use Jitsi’s native global video conferencing as your booking location.
  • Third-Party Web Conference: Select from integrated apps like Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and more.
  • Note: These apps must be Integrated Cal ID App Store




Important Note on Defaults: If you do not select any specific location during the event setup, Cal ID will set the location to Jitsi by default.

Advanced Features


Multiple Locations (Attendee Choice)


You can offer more than one way to meet for a single event! For example, you can let a guest choose between a "Zoom Call" and an "In-person Meeting."


  • Simply add multiple location options in the event settings.



  • Attendee Experience: When the guest selects their time slot, they will see an additional required question on the booking form. They must pick their preferred location from your list before they can confirm the meeting.



Privacy Option: Show After Booking


For sensitive locations (like a private office or home address), you can choose to hide the details from the public booking page. The full location will only be revealed to the guest in the Confirmation Email after they have successfully booked.
