# Meeting Types

> Create categories for your meetings with color coding. Organize meetings by purpose and track them in analytics.

## What are Meeting Types?

Meeting types are categories you create to organize different kinds of meetings. For example, you might create types like "Discovery Call," "Product Demo," "Onboarding," and "Support." Each type gets a color so you can quickly identify meetings on your calendar and in scheduling analytics.

## Creating Meeting Types

Set up your meeting type categories from the Settings page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings">
    Navigate to Settings > Meeting Types in the dashboard sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a new type">
    Click "Add Meeting Type" and enter a name like "Discovery Call" or "Product Demo".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a color">
    Select from 10 preset colors to visually distinguish this type on your calendar and in analytics.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set as default (optional)">
    Mark one meeting type as the default. New scheduling pages will use this type automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Color Coding

Each meeting type is assigned a color from 10 presets. Colors appear on calendar events, in the meetings list, and in analytics charts.

**Available Colors:** Red, Orange, Amber, Yellow, Lime, Green, Teal, Blue, Violet, Pink

## Default Meeting Type

Set one meeting type as your default. It will be automatically selected when creating new scheduling pages or event types.

In Settings > Meeting Types, click the star icon next to any meeting type to make it the default. Only one type can be the default at a time. The default type is highlighted with a filled star.

## Usage in Analytics

Meeting types power your scheduling analytics, helping you understand how your time is distributed.
