Calendar event marked "out of office" is considered available

In Zoom Scheduler, if a calendar event is marked "out of office" instead of "busy" it is not considered blocked time. The time will still show as available booking time. Scheduler only removes availability if the calendar invite is marked "busy" or "tentative". This is really unfortunate as it causes availability in Scheduler to be inaccurate. What is Zoom's reasoning for this?

Hi @leckie123 I guess that you are using the outlook calendar, right? There is a setting for the conflict checker, could you help confirm if out of office is selected there? Really appreciate your feedback.

Incredible! No one from Support could tell me this. I recommend including this somewhere in the KB article for future guidance.

 

Thank you so much!
