When you enable [**Concurrent Sessions**](https://help.staticso2.com/human-engagement/booking-calendars/booking-settings/booking-calendar-concurrent-sessions), time slots remain available on your **Booking Calendar** until they reach the maximum capacity you define. However, the way these sessions are distributed depends on your specific team configuration.

***

## Team as the Host (Round Robin or Any Available)

[Section titled “Team as the Host (Round Robin or Any Available)”](#team-as-the-host-round-robin-or-any-available)

Bookings follow the standard logic of your chosen [**Distribution Method**](https://help.staticso2.com/human-engagement/booking-calendars/booking-settings/booking-calendar-meeting-distribution-options). The key difference is that each team member can receive multiple bookings for the same time slot based on the maximum **Concurrent Session** limit.

## Single Host and Co-Host (Panel Meeting)

[Section titled “Single Host and Co-Host (Panel Meeting)”](#single-host-and-co-host-panel-meeting)

In a Panel Meeting, guests book a session that requires both the primary host and the co-host to attend together. They can receive multiple bookings for the same time slot based on the maximum **Concurrent Session** limit.

## Single Host and a Member of a Team as a Co-Host (Panel Meeting)

[Section titled “Single Host and a Member of a Team as a Co-Host (Panel Meeting)”](#single-host-and-a-member-of-a-team-as-a-co-host-panel-meeting)

This scenario involves one specific host and a member from a designated team.

When the **first session** in a time slot is booked, the system selects a team member based on the team’s [**Distribution Method** ](https://help.staticso2.com/human-engagement/booking-calendars/booking-settings/booking-calendar-meeting-distribution-options)to pair with the Host. **All subsequent sessions** within that same time slot use the same host–team member pairing.

**Example Scenario:** If the **Concurrent Sessions** limit is set to 2, John is the Host, and the team has 3 members (Sarah, James, Connor), the pairings would function as follows:

#### 9 AM to 10 AM Slot:

[Section titled “9 AM to 10 AM Slot:”](#9-am-to-10-am-slot)

* **Session 1:** John and Sarah
* **Session 2:** John and Sarah

#### 10 AM to 11 AM Slot:

[Section titled “10 AM to 11 AM Slot:”](#10-am-to-11-am-slot)

* **Session 1:** John and James
* **Session 2:** John and James

#### 11 AM to 12 PM Slot:

[Section titled “11 AM to 12 PM Slot:”](#11-am-to-12-pm-slot)

* **Session 1:** John and Connor
* **Session 2:** John and Connor.

## Members of a Team as both Host and Co-Host (Panel Meeting)

[Section titled “Members of a Team as both Host and Co-Host (Panel Meeting)”](#members-of-a-team-as-both-host-and-co-host-panel-meeting)

This scenario pairs one member from **Team A** with one member from **Team B** for the same meeting.

When the **first session** in a time slot is booked, a member from Team A and Team B are paired based on both teams’ [**Distribution Methods**](https://help.staticso2.com/human-engagement/booking-calendars/booking-settings/booking-calendar-meeting-distribution-options). Subsequent sessions in the same slot either reuse the same pairing (until their limit is reached) or create a new pairing using other available members.

**Example Scenario:** If the **Concurrent Sessions** limit is set to 2, Team A has 2 members (John, Nolan), Team B has 3 members (Sarah, James, Connor), the pairings would function as follows:

#### 9 AM to 10 AM Slot:

[Section titled “9 AM to 10 AM Slot:”](#9-am-to-10-am-slot-1)

* **Session 1:** John and Sarah
* **Session 2:** Nolan and James
* **Session 3:** John and Sarah
* **Session 4:** Nolan and James

#### 10 AM to 11 AM Slot:

[Section titled “10 AM to 11 AM Slot:”](#10-am-to-11-am-slot-1)

* **Session 1:** John and Connor
* **Session 2:** Nolan and Sarah
* **Session 3:** John and Connor
* **Session 4:** Nolan and Sarah
