# Choosing how often you get tips

Some conversations benefit from frequent guidance, others from a lighter touch. You can control how often the coach checks in and sends a tip.

## Available options

- **Low**: fewer, more considered tips, spaced further apart.
- **Medium**: a balanced default that fits most conversations.
- **High**: frequent check-ins, for when you want active, close guidance.
- **Custom**: pick an exact interval yourself, from 30 to 180 seconds.

## Set your tip frequency

1. When starting a coaching session, find the tip-frequency control below the template picker.
2. Choose Low, Medium or High, or select Custom.
3. If you choose Custom, a seconds picker appears, so you can select the exact interval you want.
4. Start the session; the coach follows this cadence for the rest of the session.

## Good to know

- Some templates set a sensible default for you: for example, Listening mode defaults to Low, since it's built around rare, high-value prompts. See [Using listening mode](https://www.meetfy.ai/en/helpcenter/coaching/using-listening-mode). You can still override it.
- This setting only affects how often the coach checks in; it doesn't affect whether tips are shown on screen or spoken aloud. See [Hearing tips in your headphones](https://www.meetfy.ai/en/helpcenter/coaching/hearing-tips-in-your-headphones).
- Choosing a shorter custom interval means more frequent, more granular tips; a longer one means fewer interruptions.
