# Repeat a meeting

Turn a meeting into a series that comes back every day, week, month or year, choose when it stops, then change one occurrence, the following ones or the whole series.

A meeting that comes back, such as a weekly file review or a monthly billing check, is created once and repeated. Each occurrence is a meeting of its own, with its own attendees' answers, linked to the others by the series.

## Before you start {#before-you-start}

- You organize or attend the meeting: only the organizer and the attendees can change it.
- Set **Start** first: the first meeting gives the series its time, and its day for a weekly series.

## Make it repeat {#make-it-repeat}

1. Open the meeting, or create one with **New** as in [Schedule a meeting](schedule-a-meeting).
2. Open the **Options** tab and switch on **Recurrent**.
3. Choose the rhythm after **Repeat:**. **Weekly** is proposed.
   - **Weekly**: under **Repeat on**, the day of the start is selected; click other day letters to add them.
   - **Monthly**: **Day of Month** offers a date of the month, such as the 15th, or a weekday in the month, such as the first Monday or the last Friday.
   - **Daily** and **Yearly** repeat every day or every year; **Custom** sets **Repeat every** to a number of days, weeks, months or years.
4. Choose when it stops in **Until**: **Number of repetitions**, typed in the box next to it, an **End date**, or **Forever**, which creates the meetings up to fifteen years ahead and never more than 720.
5. **Timezone** keeps the hour of every occurrence in that time zone; it starts from yours.

6. Click **Save manually**. All the occurrences are created at once and appear in the calendar. The attendees receive their invitation when you save, and the reminders apply to every meeting of the series.

## Change one meeting or the series {#change-the-series}

Open any occurrence. A blue band, **Edit recurring event**, asks which meetings your next change covers:

- **This event**: only the one you opened, as for a meeting moved once because of a holiday.
- **This and following events**: this one and the ones after it; the earlier ones keep their old values.
- **All events**: every meeting of the series.

Choose, change the field, then save. Here, **All events** with a new **Location** moves the six meetings to Room 3 at once.

The rhythm itself (**Repeat:**, the days, **Until**) changes only with **This and following events** or **All events**; with **This event**, saving is refused with a message. Answering an invitation from the calendar and moving a meeting by dragging ask the same question in a small window.

## Stop or delete a series {#stop-or-delete}

- To end a series earlier, open the last meeting you want to keep, choose **This and following events**, switch **Recurrent** off and save. The meetings after it are deleted; the earlier ones stay in the series, and the one you opened stays as a single meeting.
- **Delete** in the **Actions** menu of an occurrence first asks the same question. When you are the only attendee, the meetings you chose are archived instead of deleted, and the **Archived** filter of the search finds them again. When other people attend, the answer is not applied: only the occurrence you opened is deleted, through the **Delete Event** window of [Answer, move or cancel a meeting](answer-move-or-cancel-a-meeting#cancel).

## FAQ {#faq}

### Can a series skip a holiday? {#skip-a-holiday}

Yes. Open the occurrence that falls on the holiday, choose **This event**, then move it to another day or delete it. The rest of the series stays as it is.

### Why is Duration greyed out on my meeting? {#duration-greyed}

A saved repeating meeting does not change its length from **Duration**. Change the end in **Start** instead, choosing which occurrences it covers.

### Do all occurrences meet in the same video call? {#video-link}

Yes. The first person who joins creates the call's channel in Discuss, and every occurrence of the series then opens that same channel.

### I set Forever. Why does the calendar stop after some years? {#forever}

**Forever** creates the meetings up to fifteen years ahead, and never more than 720 of them, to keep the calendar light.
