Event Settings
In Zoho Calendar, you can set default event settings which will be applied across your calendar.
Event Duration
You can set Default Event Duration which will be reflected in the event creation form across all your calendars. The chosen time duration will be set by default when you create an event. The duration can be changed by clicking the time field and picking the desired time for the event.
Steps to Set Default Event Duration

- Go to Settings > Calendar > Event Settings.
- Click the drop-down menu under the Default event duration and pick the desired time duration.
Participant Permissions
Participant permissions help the host of an event to limit the participant access to view, edit, delete or add participants to the event. You can set a default option in your calendar settings and that will be reflected when you create an event across any calendar. You can change your preference in the create event form when you want to change the participant permission. Learn more.
