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. ## 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. ## Works with Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online **Tags:** Booking links, Public API, Reports ## Alternatives - [Calendly](https://toolgpa.com/tools/calendly): Booking links and team scheduling for external meetings.
