# How does "No preference" work when selected as a teammate

Learn how selecting no preference as your teammate affects your services calendar

## How does no preference teammate work?

When a customer selects "No preference" it causes the app to show the availability of all teammates in a single calendar view and depending on the date/time chosen the app will pick a teammate.

If two teammates are available for the same date/time the app will randomly pick one.

## Example of no preference teammate selected 

This example will show two teammates with different availabilities that do not overlap and how a calendar would show if no preference is selected.
