# How to organize a flexible meeting?

Flexible Meetings let you assign participants as members, roles, or circles, even without governance links, ensuring the right people are included. You don't need to be assigned to any of those to add them to such a meeting. Organizing it is simple:

* Create a new meeting with the **Add meeting** button
    
* Give your meeting a **tittle, date**, and define its **recurrence**
    
* Assign **participants** by adding individual **members, roles,** or **circles**
    
* Choose a **meeting template**
    
* Set **privacy** preferences
    
* **Confirm** by clicking on the **Schedule** or **Open now** buttons

**⭐ Tip: **When assigning circles, those of which you are a member appear in the list. To** add other circles **or **roles**, enter their name in the search bar and they will appear for selection.

# How to Manage Privacy in Flexible Meetings?

Flexible Meetings offer **customizable privacy settings** depending on their structure, allowing you to control who has access to meeting details. The privacy settings for flexible meetings depend on their structure.

👉 For meetings linked to **a single synchronized circle, t**he circle’s **existing privacy settings** automatically apply.

👉 For meetings including **multiple members, roles,** or **circles** (not linked to a single synchronized circle), privacy settings can be configured during meeting creation or editing.

Once the meeting is set up as private, only its participants can access its report.

# Activating Open Collaboration on Meetings when using Holacracy App

In organizations using the **Holacracy App**, flexible meetings are **disabled by default **in the add-on settings. To activate open collaboration on meetings, ** platfrom** **administrators** need to uncheck the option **"Lock meeting assignation to a circle."** This change allows meetings to be created and assigned more freely, beyond the strict boundaries of individual circles, supporting more open and adaptive collaboration practices.
