Microsoft Bookings Tutorial; Everything You Need to Know

Microsoft Bookings is a free application in Microsoft 365 and everyone should be using it.

You can use Microsoft Bookings in a couple of different ways. Firstly, you can stop wasting time trying to organise meetings with people over email, just send them your Bookings link.

Secondly, you can have shared booking pages where you can organise your business's services and let people book them - like for example a hair salon.

Jonathan! Thanks a lot for this tutorial. We solved a whole problem in my business with a meeting room. Now everything is through Microsoft Bookings and we are using it every day of the year.

Thanks for your video! I'm using this tutorial to create a consultation booking for my team.
This is one of the best videos I've seen explaining how to set up Microsoft Bookings.

[Adadanddivorce]

Dude you are funny. The best I have seen explain anything with MS stuff. Keep it up brother.

[AnaD.AlmarazG]

SUPER !!! Thank you for taking the time to show us so well, easy and quick, THANKS!!!

[c.e.bingham]

I have used Calendly and MS Bookings is better. I especially like the integration with Outlook (natural expectation from MS) and other apps. Thanks for your comprehensive tutorial. 😊

[Darin-jv]

Exactly what I was looking for to build out something for my firm.

[digray]

Thanks so much, i finally understand. only question - Can i block out lunch hour?... also how do I delete shared booking pages i made to test it out

[funjaylee]

Amazing video. Thank you so much. Subbed!

[jRufus]

Great video Jonathan! Your explanations are so clear and straight to the point....love your videos!
One question, is there a way to show Monday as first day of the week in my public Booking page? Thank you!!

[hssey]

In a differnt way, I implement MS Booking as a conference room reservation system for my organization and it serve the purpose quite well!

[thebigeasye]

Giving you a thumbs up for the beard alone. 👍

[ramb]

Great, I couldn’t find a way to shorten URL or embed on website without leaving the website booking page

[tinamcginty]

Can I do specific dates rather than just a day of the week M-F and time? i.e 12/29 1-3p or 1/7 2-5p?

[comebackseason]

I was about to purchase Calendly or tidycal, now I certainly don't want to anymore, thank you for the video! The only question I'm pondering on now: How can I integrate MS Bookings into my wordpress based website? I don't want to have my clients to leave my website or to open the bookings page in a new tab.

Thank you for this video! It's easy to follow and really helpful. I can't wait to check out your other videos now that I have found you! :) I love when things can be automated and was so happy to see you present the follow up email feature in Bookings. In testing it out, I've noticed that in the email the customer receives it reads "You have an upcoming booking" after their name and then "Appointment reminder". I'm confused as this seems out of place for a follow-up email that is sent after the booking has taken place and I can't see where I can edit either of these. You obviously have a much better understanding of Microsoft products and IT than me! Do you know where I can change this or have any suggestions as to what might be happening, please??

[pietro]

Hi Jonathan, great tutorial. It's possible for the staff to access the backend management pages (Calendar, etc)?

[FrancePadiz]

thank you for this wonderful video. was able to create my booking page quickly. is there a way to confirm the booking first before it gets to my calendar rather than automatically blocking off the time?

[BM-zury]

If you have say 10 employees all with availability how does the booking tool choose who to allocate and is there an algorithm so that opportunities are fairly spread or is it random e.g could someone get 3 or 4 bookings in a row or would it share them out?

[christianrafaelrodriguezge]

Interested in knowing if I can add a required cell for customers to add their phone number when booking an appointment through MY PERSONAL bookings page. Thanks for the help.

[notdaones]

What is the difference between personal booking pages and shared booking pages.
