Class Calendars are intended to handle events that involve one-to-many interactions, allowing multiple invitees to attend a single booking. These types of calendars are particularly useful for organizing webinars, workshops, training sessions, and sports events. The appointment owner, typically the trainer or host, is limited to one in a Class Calendar. Additionally, the maximum number of attendees per slot can be set, with a cap of 9,999 attendees, subject to any meeting location restrictions that may apply.
