# 42min > 42min is a free online meeting-scheduling platform — share a link, let people pick a time, and the meeting lands on everyone's calendar automatically. It's a full-featured alternative to Calendly with no artificial limits: routing forms, round-robin team scheduling, group events that can rotate their host across a team (Group + Round Robin), automated reminders/follow-ups, organizations, branding, and per-plan limits. This file indexes the 42min Help Center and links to the index of the blog. Each Help Center page is also available as raw markdown at the same URL with a `.md` suffix. ## Help Center _Guides and reference for 42min: event types, schedules, booking pages, routing forms, workflows, integrations, and admin._ ### Getting started - [What is 42min?](https://42min.us/help/getting-started/what-is-42min): A quick overview of the 42min scheduling platform, what you can do with it (booking pages, routing forms, polls, workflows), and where to start. - [Connecting your calendar](https://42min.us/help/getting-started/connecting-your-calendar): Link Google, Outlook, Apple iCloud or another CalDAV calendar so 42min reads your busy times, writes bookings back, and can add a video link. - [Setting your availability](https://42min.us/help/getting-started/setting-your-availability): Create a schedule of the hours you're open for meetings in 42min.
