Now that your calendar is connected to Gyde, it’s time to set your meeting preferences. You decide how long meetings last, how frequently time slots appear, and any downtime before or after each meeting.
Step 1: Navigate to the 'Meeting' tab in GydeOS
Now that you've logged into GydeOS, find the 'Meetings' tab in the left-hand column.
Step 2: Click on 'My Settings'
Find the 'My Settings' tab in the upper right corner, under Meetings.
Step 3: Configure your meeting settings
Adjust the duration, interval, start times, and buffer times for your schedule.
Duration: Set how long each meeting lasts (e.g., 30 minutes).
Interval: Decide how often new timeslots appear on your calendar (e.g., every 30 minutes).
Round to: Adjust meeting start times to the nearest increment you choose (e.g., 15 minutes).
Buffer before: Block time before each meeting for preparation.
Buffer after: Block time after each meeting for follow-up or notes.
Click 'Save Changes'. You can always update your preferences later.
Step 4: Set open hours
Select your available meeting hours. Your open hours are the days and times when clients can book appointments on your calendar.
These open hours determine when meetings can be scheduled on your calendar.
For example:
Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM; then click 'Add' to add an additional open window from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM. That way, you save an hour for lunch!
Saturday to Sunday: Unavailable
If you need to make changes, click Edit open hours. When you’re finished, click Finish. You can update your open hours anytime under Meetings > My Settings.

You’re all set!
Once you’ve finished configuring your meeting preferences and open hours, your calendar is fully set up and Gia is ready to schedule meetings directly on your calendar. Your account setup process is now complete!
Remember, you can revisit and adjust any of these settings at any time under Meetings > My Settings, so your calendar can always reflect your availability and scheduling preferences.
