Outlook Bookings Personal Page
11 May 2022 | Bookings, Outlook
Bookings in Outlook is coming to help you reduce the back and forth in scheduling, while helping you to maintain control of your calendar! Users of Business Basic, Business Standard and Business Premium will have access to Bookings in Outlook by default when the general rollout is completed (expected to be late June 2022).
Bookings in Outlook is coming to help you reduce the back and forth in scheduling, while helping you maintain control of your calendar. You'll be able to create custom meeting types to share with others so they can easily find a time to schedule a 1:1 meeting with you according to your availability and preferences. When someone schedules a meeting with you using your personal booking page, you will both receive an email confirmation.
Attendees can update or cancel scheduled meetings with you directly from your personal bookings page. While Microsoft Bookings is designed for group and team scheduling, Bookings in Outlook is meant only for the owner of the mailbox and is based only on their preferences and availability.

What you need to do to prepare
Bookings in Outlook will be enabled by default for users that meet the licensing requirements. To disable access to creating a personal booking page for your organization or select users, follow these instructions.
