Creating Moots
Set up a new Moot and configure its settings.
Info
Starting a New Moot
To create a Moot, navigate to Moots in the navigation and click Create Moot. You'll enter the Moot creation wizard.
Basic Information
Name (Required)
Choose a clear, recognizable name for your group:
- "Monday Game Night"
- "Friday Night Campaigns"
- "The Adventuring Party"
Keep it short and descriptive. This is what members will see in their dashboard.
Description (Optional)
Add context about your group:
- What you play together
- Session frequency
- Any ground rules or expectations
URL Slug
EventMoot generates a URL-friendly slug from your name:
https://eventmoot.com/moots/monday-game-night
The slug is automatically created from your Moot name and cannot be changed after creation.
Group Settings
Target Sessions per Month
How often does your group typically play?
- Helps with smart scheduling suggestions
- Informs recurring pattern recommendations
- Not a hard limit, just a guide
Default Event Duration
Typical length of your gatherings:
- Sets default when creating events
- Can be overridden per event
- Helps with time slot suggestions
When do you usually meet?
If your group has a regular slot, set it when you create the Moot or later in its Settings: the usual day or days, start time, length, time zone and location.
- The Moot's home page and its invite page show it, for example "Thursdays · 7:00–10:00 PM ET". Members in another time zone also see their own time ("Thu night, midnight–3:00 AM your time, London"). The invite page never shows the location, since it can be a home address.
- The time is kept in the Moot's own time zone, so 7 PM stays 7 PM there when the clocks change.
- New events in the Moot start from it: time slots begin at the usual start and run for the usual length, the location is filled in, and the date poll offers "Next 4 Thursdays" to add in one go.
- A Same time every week schedule starts from it too. See Recurring Events.
