Microsoft Bookings is a broad scheduling tool for appointments, office hours and students services that allows you to simplify how customers schedule and manage appointments. The tool gives you the ability to customize appointment details, booking requirements, and specify service providers to streamline the booking experience. 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 they must.

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.
