We are holding parent teacher conferences online. How can I connect multiple teacher calendars to the account and allow them to take bookings from parents?

You can find the full directions here: [https://support.youcanbook.me/article/529-setting-up-a-parent-teacher-conference-account](https://support.youcanbook.me/article/529-setting-up-a-parent-teacher-conference-account)

**Step 1: You need access to each teacher’s calendar.**  
[In this setup we will reference Google calendar, but you can also follow the same steps if you’re using Outlook.]  
_Option A_: Have each teacher [share their calendar](https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37082?hl=en) with your own Google calendar account at the level “make changes to events.” This will trigger an email to you asking you to accept these calendar permission.  
_Option B_: [Create a new calendar](https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37095) for each teacher on your own Google account, and then share that calendar with them.

**Setup Option 1: Create a new booking page for each individual teacher**  
Create a separate link for each teacher so they can have their personalized URL (ie [teacher-A.youcanbook.me](http://teacher-A.youcanbook.me)).

From your Dashboard, click + create new booking profile.

Next click **Edit Settings** on that profile you’ve created. Under General update the booking page title and booking page link to reflect the teacher you are setting up this page for.

Under **Times & availability** , setup the availability for this teacher. Use [Repeating availability](https://support.youcanbook.me/article/542-setting-your-availability) and [YouCanBook.me](http://YouCanBook.me) will offer up any free time between the set working hours where there are no existing events already on their Google calendar.

You can also set a fixed start and end date if you only want to offer a certain range of days for booking.

Finally under **Duration & display** , set the grid display and duration of your bookings.
