Create a Secret or Private Meeting Type
Hide meeting types from your public booking page while keeping them accessible via direct link
Secret meeting types don't appear on your public booking page but remain fully functional when accessed via their direct link. This is perfect for VIP clients, special offers, or internal scheduling.
What Are Secret Meeting Types?

- Public listings
But they're still accessible to anyone with the direct link.

Best Practices
Clear Naming
Name hidden meeting types clearly:

- "Partner Demo - Private"
This helps you manage them in your admin view.
Track Where You Share
Keep a record of:

- Where you've shared it

Review Periodically
Check your hidden meeting types:
- Are they still needed?
- Should any become public?
- Are the settings still appropriate?
FAQ
Can someone find a hidden meeting type by guessing the URL?
Technically yes, if they guess the exact URL slug. For more security, use one-time links or require confirmation.
Do hidden meeting types count toward my meeting type limit?
Yes, hidden meeting types count the same as regular ones in your plan limits.
Can I embed a hidden meeting type?
Yes, you can embed it using the direct link. The embed works normally; it's just not discoverable on your main page.
Will hidden meeting types appear in search engines?
No, hidden meeting types are excluded from your public page and shouldn't be indexed. However, avoid sharing links publicly if you want them truly private.
