Office hours —
time slots, one person each

Office hours run best as a list of slots that fill themselves. This kind uses the Slots layout with six twenty-minute slots at one spot each, repeating weekly, so a student picks a time from the card and the professor sees the afternoon laid out.

What the group sees

Pick Office hours and the slot builder opens with six slots from 2:00 to 3:40, one spot each. Change the times, add or remove slots, and the card in the class chat lists them with the name on each taken slot and “Open” on the rest. A student opens the link, picks a slot, types a name, and the slot is theirs.

The office hours card: Tuesday office hours
Example: “Tuesday office hours”. Every chat app shows this card; tapping it opens the page.

  • 6 slots
  • 2 hours
  • Repeats weekly

When the week ends the link rolls forward and the slots empty. The room or the call link goes in the location, so the page shows Open in Maps for a room and a Join the call button for a video link.

How to set it up

1
Pick Office hours

Six slots, one spot each, repeating weekly. Edit the times to match your calendar.

2
Type the room or paste the call link

Both show on the page; the call link shows once a student has booked.

3
Post the link once

Students book from the card. Next week the slots are empty again on the same link.

What it does for you

No back-and-forth

A student sees the open slots and takes one. No email, no “does 2:20 work”.

One per slot, enforced

A taken slot says so on the card and drops out of the picker on the page.

The same link all term

A weekly repeat clears the slots and keeps the link. The page keeps who came.

Office hours FAQ

Can a slot take two students?

Set its spots to two, or any number. Each slot has its own.

Can I block a slot for myself?

Sign yourself up for it from the page with the host tools, or set its spots to zero and leave it in the list as a break.

Can students cancel?

Yes. A returning phone sees its booking and a Remove me button; the slot opens again on the card.
