A method, comprising:

• receiving an input data from a host to schedule a meeting, wherein the input data includes invitees to the meeting, a title associated with the meeting, and a time or date associated with the meeting;
• receiving at least a call-in number or a link for the meeting;
• generating a calendar invite for the invitees, wherein the calendar invite includes the at least the call-in number or the link for the meeting, the time or date associated with the meeting, the title associated with the meeting, and a user selectable graphical user interface (GUI) icon that, once instantiated by an invitee at a time of responding to the calendar invite, automatically schedules the meeting for the invitee to be started at a predetermined threshold of time from the time or date associated with the meeting, and wherein starting the meeting at the predetermined threshold of time from the time or date associated with the meeting includes causing a device of the invitee to automatically call the call-in number without intervention by the invitee at or approximately at the time that the meeting is scheduled;
• transmitting the calendar invite to the invitee;
• and
• estimating whether the invitee is expected to be late to the meeting based on past behavior for the invitee and further based on a current calendar of the invitee.
