Microsoft Bookings is a scheduling tool integrated into Microsoft 365. Bookings gives you a faster alternative to time-consuming and repetitive scheduling tasks. Customize appointment details, booking requirements and specify services to streamline the booking experience.

Welcome to Microsoft Bookings

Integration with your Microsoft 365 calendar helps to quickly find available time to avoid double-booking, and an easy to navigate webpage lets you find and book appointments around the clock. Bookings helps you spend less time scheduling and more time meeting.

Features and Benefits

  • Create and publish your services in a secure web form requiring Microsoft 365 login, or a public facing page which does not require login.
  • Assign your staff to services, enter time off for staff, and create blocks of available times for your service(s), as well as block out times for vacation and sick time.

Potential Uses for Bookings:
  • Faculty can provide their availability for office hours and allow students to book appointments.
  • Departments can schedule appointments with internal and external community members for a center, project or group.
  • A department chair or administrator could create an office hours calendar with slots for multiple faculty members.

Microsoft Bookings is a broad scheduling tool for appointments, office hours and student services that allows you to simplify how customers schedule and manage appointments. Students, faculty, staff and others who seek to schedule a meeting with you can visit your booking page, book the time and service they need, get a confirmation email and calendar invitation, and reschedule or cancel if needed.

If you prefer to book your own appointments, simply enter the appointment details in Bookings and all confirmations and reminders will be sent, and all changes tracked.
