You can use future continuous, but not in that sentence.

Can we meet tomorrow at 10?

I'm sorry, but I will be meeting with the boss then. How about 11?

I'm sorry, but I will be escorting our customers on a tour of our facility all morning How about some time in the afternoon intead.

Note that those can both use "I'm meeting" and I'm escoring" - the present cont

Certainly you can use the future continuous tense in general, also called the future progressive tense, but not with non-progressive verbs like have, as in to have free time. Non-progressive verbs cannot be used in any continuous tense. This prohibition is not limited to the present continuous, the future continuous, or any other continuous tense
