Good afternoon
Why can't I see availability hours when I create an appointment in my apple calendar and share this appointment with another person. The instructions say that this feature is available in the CalDev account calendar. I see that apple calendar is CalDev calendar, then why can't I use this function.

SalimCat,
We'd like to provide you with a few steps that may be able to assist you:
"Invite people
on your Mac, double-click or force click the event, then click Add Invitees or click next to any existing invitees. (You can also select an event, then use the Touch Bar.)As you type a name or email address, Calendar tries to find a match in your Contacts and Mail apps, and on connected calendar servers. If you press Return before Calendar finds a match, or before you finish typing an email address, the invitee isn’t added.
After you enter two invitees, Calendar suggests the next invitee based on your previous interactions with people, such as who you often or recently invited together to the same meeting.
A symbol next to each invitee indicates the person’s status—for example, available, busy, or replied yes, no, or maybe. See Symbols used in Calendar.
3. If you see Check Availability below the last invitee, you can click it to see when invitees are free or busy. You only see Check Availability if your event is on a calendar service that tracks availability, such as CalDAV.
You see invitees’ free and busy time in the Availability window. To find an event time with the fewest or no conflicts, you can:
4. Click Send.
To remove an invitee, select the invitee, then press the Delete key.
If you regularly invite the same set of people to events, you can create a list for them in the Contacts app. Then, when you enter the name of the list, each list member is invited to the event.
If your calendar service provider allows group email addresses, you can enter them as invitees, and all the group members are invited."

Hi SalimCat,
Thanks for the followup. We suggest you get in contact with Apple Support so that they can look into this with you further. They can be reached here: Apple Support
Take care!
Hello SalimCat,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
The ability to set your availability will depend on the provider who's hosting your calendar. To see if this's a supported feature, you'll want to reach out to whomever is hosting your calendar to check.
Hope this helps!
hello my calendar is hosted by icloud provider if i think correctly.
That is, I use a calendar whose account is my iCloud. Therefore, I don’t really understand you about what I need to check with the provider. Please tell me what you call the provider, perhaps show an example of what you are talking about.
Thanks a lot
Hello.
My problem is NOT that I can't invite a member to the calendar. And the fact that I can’t understand why when I invite a participant, Check Availability is not shown to me. I am using icloud account for calendar. Not some other, as an apple id, I have an email with a custom domain. In the list of calendar accounts, I see that the account is CalDev (screenshot in the first message).
However, if I invite a participant to an event, I DO NOT see his availability hours. Above, support said that I need to contact the provider, which provider did the support say? I don't understand. After all, I have an icloud account, and not another manufacturer. Again, why can't I check the availability of a participant when invited to a calendar event, there is simply no such button?
