The Scheduled Huddle events can be set to both Public and Private. The creator can now select the option of scheduling the Huddle events to Public or Private depending on their preference and requirement. 

Public: Any user(s) can self-enrol and access the Public Huddle event even when they are not assigned to that Public event.

The participants who join the Public Huddle event can leave the Huddle when they want.

Private: Only those users who have been assigned to the Scheduled Huddle event can participate and access the Private Huddle event.

The users that are assigned to the Private Huddle event cannot leave the event.
