FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about deploying MyCaly for Education.

Can I restrict bookings strictly to students with university emails?

Yes. You can require verification of specific domain names (such as .edu or campus domains) so outside individuals cannot claim faculty slots.

Can I set buffer times between student sessions?

Yes! You can configure automatic 5, 10, or 15-minute buffers so you never have back-to-back student overruns.

Does MyCaly support group study sessions with a student limit?

Absolutely. You can create group events with strict capacity caps (e.g. 6 students per session) that automatically close when full.
