Online Appointment Scheduling

Learn about Bookings

Microsoft Bookings is an online and mobile app to help you schedule appointments online! Some use cases include scheduling office hours, student advising, or employee reviews. Please take a look at the information below to start using Bookings: 

 

Schedule Online Appointments

Bookings allows you to create services that can be booked online. People booking that service will now receive a Teams meeting that can join remotely.

Under Services > select or create a new service > check Add online meeting.

 

Access Control

We recommend that you set the following Booking Page access control settings:

  • Require an Office 365 account from my organization to book (NOTE: This ensures that only logged in users can access your page) 
  • Disable direct search engine indexing of booking page

Adding Staff Members

Your Bookings page can be staffed by just you or multiple team members.

For example, you have several staff members who want to advise students. Your booking calendar can allow students to select appointments from any available staff member:

  • From the Staff tab select +Add staff.
  • Enter the email address and additional information for your staff member.
  • The staff member will receive an invite in their email. They will need to select Manage Membership from the email, and then choose to Start Membership.
  • Once the staff member has accepted the invite their calendar will be available for scheduling.
