Microsoft Bookings
Appointment booking pages included with Microsoft 365
What is Microsoft Bookings?
Microsoft Bookings is the appointment scheduling app in Microsoft 365. It publishes a web booking page tied to Outlook calendars, either for one person or for a team with its own services, staff and business hours, and can turn each appointment into a Microsoft Teams meeting. It is not sold on its own: it comes with Microsoft 365 business, enterprise, education, frontline and government subscriptions.
Microsoft Bookings is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $5.40 per user / month, paid yearly (Business Basic without Teams; $7.00 with Teams). See every plan
Good for
- Organizations already paying for Microsoft 365 that need appointment booking
- Teams that hold customer appointments as Microsoft Teams meetings
- Internal booking pages limited to people inside the organization
Worth knowing
- Bookings is not available as a standalone app; it requires an eligible Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscription with Outlook on the web enabled.
- Microsoft's FAQ states there is no payment support, so it cannot charge customers when they book.
- SMS notifications are limited to North America, and staff cannot be given their own time zones.
- Appointments can only be edited in the Bookings web portal, not from an Outlook calendar, and reports cover the past 120 days.
Key features
- Personal booking page
- Personal Bookings gives one person a page for their own time slots, with meeting types for different purposes. Anyone with the link sees the free times and books one.
- Shared booking pages for teams
- Shared Bookings covers a team: define services, add staff, set business hours and scheduling policies, and run several Bookings calendars, each with its own setup.
- Teams meetings for appointments
- An appointment booked as an online meeting gets a unique Microsoft Teams link sent to attendees. Bookings also runs as an app inside Teams and Outlook.
- Self-service booking and changes
- Customers book, reschedule or cancel on the page, which can be embedded in a website through an iFrame or restricted to accounts in your own organization.
- Email and SMS notifications
- Confirmation and reminder emails go to staff and customers with a calendar file attached. SMS text notifications are currently available in North America.
- Group bookings and staff assignment
- Several people can book the same slot, for example for a class. If customers are not allowed to pick a staff member, Bookings assigns an available one at random.
