We have just started using MS Teams and your videos are my go to, especially for all the new features. I have picked up so much not just in MS Teams. Clear, concise with a sense of humour, thank you.
Thanks Kevin! I just learned a new MS tool in under 30 minutes! great review with great real life scenarios, awesome how your videos help even 2 years later!
Thank you for your videos. I started a new job and never had to use these softwares in previous jobs. You've help me learn new skills in a short amount of time and decrease my anxiety. Hopefully learning these microsoft products will lead to a pay increase in the future. Thanks Kevin 👍🏾
Thanks for this! Your tutorials are always so succinct. I'm a college instructor, and we're still going to be online for the fall (2020). Because I don't have the opportunity to walk the classroom and check-in with my students one-on-one to see how they're doing; I want to meet briefly each week with every one of my students via a Teams video call, but I don't want to deal with tonnes of emails back and forth to confirm meeting times. Last semester I asked students to use the Scheduling Assistant in Outlook or Teams to set up a meeting in my calendar when I was free, but it wasn't ideal. I'm going to give Bookings a try this coming semester. The buffer and staff features are the most interesting for me. It's exhausting going from one Teams meeting directly into another - I like the opportunity to get up and stretch or quickly scan my Outlook inbox or Teams activity before I head into the next meeting. It's also great that I can set up my colleagues as Staff and our students can have one central and unified way of booking meetings with their instructors.
Presumably, if the meeting is to be attended by more than the individual who booked it - e.g. a group of students booking a meeting with a teacher; a wife booking an appointment for her and her husband to see a marriage counselor, etc... the one booking the meeting/appointment must forward the meeting invite to whomever else should attend. There is no way to add other attendees from within Bookings. Correct?
William Thompson similar question - I need to schedule 10-12 students to come is for testing. Can I enter the number of seats open for each appointment and then have it show full when I reach the maximum number? I could have a slot for next available seat, if another person has to drop.
Kevin, Thank you! I am a teacher, and I was trying to figure out an easier way to schedule my students for registration for the upcoming school year. Beautiful!!! Thank you :)
Thanks for the very informational video. Since this recording, MS added an "Onboarding" page that slightly changes things on the very front end, but then it matches up just fine. (Yes, well aware it'll constantly change.) I appreciate you helping me get my own Bookings created!
Thank you very much for this great tutorial. My question is: can I set a booking time to be selected by multiple customers, and limit that to a specific number of customers per each time slot? Thank you very much in advance.
Did you find a solution? Even if not a specific feature, I wonder if you could do this workaround: say you wanted to be able to meet with up to 10 people at once. Maybe you could create 10 "employees" (really all yourself), and set all as available during the time that you want to allow 10 customers or clients to simultaneously book. If you don't want multiple clients in another time slot, then let the other 9 copies of yourself be unavailable then. [I wonder if the 10 copies of yourself can all share the same email address and outlook calendar!]
Trying to apply this to an office where one person needs to schedule with 500 individuals over the course of a year. It would be nice if you could toggle the wording in the initial set-up, so that businesses could use that language, teachers, offices, etc. We are already wrapping our minds around using a service-based app for meetings. Thanks for this in-depth review.
Thanks for this overview, Kevin! We're rolling out bookings as a way to encourage our members to schedule time with us when they need assistance or want to book key services like our ribbon cuttings and outreach visits. This was a great overview to get us started.
MS Office 365 has many applications. I want to know for each of them what is the best practice. For example, when to use Teams, and when to use SharePoint. Thanks for the great videos, Kevin!
Hi Kevin, great tutorial! I'm an IT guy and am going to start using this within the firm to book installations and such. Should be interesting. One thing that's noticeably missing, if a person you invite to book already has an M365 account and they go to the booking page, I would think that it would recognize who they are automatically (assuming they are signed in on their browsers) and not require them to fill out their name, email, etc. Or, at the very least, be able to add customers from the GAL. ah well.
Good job on the video content Kevin. A few suggestions though; I've seen other screen recordings from other people that either zoom the screen when you click on an item or highlight the clicks on the screen. And I think having a black larger Mouse would be helpful as well. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! I did some research today and will include a highlighted cursor moving forward so it's really clear to see where it is. I'll also make sure to zoom in closer so you can see all the details. Always things to keep improving on :)
Can you use MS Bookings to set up a meeting between groups of people, or is it just one-to-one? Eg. for a training session, one might want the external customer to send an individual and the individual's manager, and then there might be three of our staff who need to be involved in the session.
Hi Kevin, this is really interesting. Would you recommend this for internal teams that don't sell services but time slots to different departments? Would everyone need access to Bookings or just the organiser?
After setting up booking, how do it embed this to my SharePoint site. Thank you for another great educational video. It makes me more and more wanting to use Microsoft.
Hi Kevin, this video is really well made, and i think its ideal for what im looking for. One question, is it possible to incorporate payment into bookings? It would save a lot of hassle to have the customer pay for the bookings via the site
Thank you Kevin for the Awesome video. It would be great if you could create an updated video on Microsoft Bookings as a lot has changed on GUI & Options.
Nice overview Kevin -- As a Calendly user trying to transition to MS Bookings I find that once someone books a mtg on my calendar via MS Bookings, I cannot edit or move that meeting if something comes up and I need to do so. Is there a setting to allow this?
Thanks for the great video, Kevin. I'm hoping you can answer my question. Is there a way for a parent to book more than one staff member for the same meeting? For example, I want to book a conference for my child with the math and English teacher at the same time. How would the school set that up to make it possible?
Hi! There's an option on the Services page that shows the maximum nunber of attenees per event. Is it possible to change it? For example, I'd like to set for 5 attencees per event as I'd would use it to schedule a cowork space. Thanks a lot!
FYI - If you are a solopreneur, to avoid getting two email notifications every time someone books with you - don't check "Notify staff member when booking...." for your staff profile. Only check notify the business. It doesn't work if you do it the other way around.
Hello Kevin. Thanks for your help! I followed the instructions step by step. I have encountered one error. I set my specific hours and configured the settings to specific that only when I am free on my calendar. However, it does not connect with my regular outlook. Example if I am free at 2:00 pm on bookings it allows a customer to book. But I may have a meeting from 2-3:00 pm on my regular outlook calendar. Any workaround on this?
Very interesting. Here's what I didn't find out: We have events e.g. that takes place from 08-12. The issue is the customer is not allowed to choose date and time. There are fixed date and time which have few numbers of available seats. How can I manage to allow them to book this appointment without choosing a time slot. Another point is, is it possible to give only a few time slots which I will allow.
Kevin, is there a way to have multiple people book onto a meeting at the same time? Say for a class? The beauty of this would be the link to teams and training?
Great video Kevin... my question is how do i use the Microsoft booking for a corporate shared mail box not personal like mine so the bookings can be in that calendar primarily
Great presentation! is there a way to coordinate multiple people from outside your team so they can collaborate on a time. Maybe give options and then each person says what options work for them.
Could you show how to add multiple services on one? For example a massage therapist you can book a 30 min, 45, 60min appointment etc and how to show their different prices
Can you do a video on bookings to illustrate how property management firms can organize bookings for clients who have shown interest in a house they want to buy or rent?
Thank you for this tutorial, it was very informative! However, I have a few questions: 1. I accidently created a booking page that I do not want anymore- how do I delete it? 2. I have multiple booking pages -- one for our business and then a few separate ones for each staff member. Is there an easy way that I can switch from one of these pages to another without having to search each time?
My homepage doesn't have ANY of these things. There is no sidebar with settings, no getting started, nothing except for one booking page that I made last year. Multiple browsers.
Thank you for your easy to understand presentation! In the video your "not created in Bookings" appointments show up "Busy" in the Bookings calendar. Mine do not show up at all. What is the fix for this? I've spent hours searching for a solution. TIA!
A great overview! Is there a way to DELAY the confirmation. I'd rather: a client books time with me. I get an email REQUESTING the appointment. And then I click to confirm. Is this a possible feature? I've looked high and low and everything seems to automate the confirmation.
Hi Kevin, thanks for this. are we able to make ourselves available for 2 different time periods on the same day eg. 9-1.30pm and then again from3pm until 6pm?
Hi Kevin! Is there any way to book more than one person for an event? For example, I want my staff (e.g., John) to search for a time when I and someone else (e.g., Lucy) are available for a meeting. John would search for booking options based on availability on my and Lucy's calendar, book a time where we both are available, and we both would be notified.
Great Job, with this video. How do I synchronize my outlook agenda with booking agenda? I cannot find this. Thank you very much for the other explanations on your film
I want to use MS Bookings so that students can self register for online classes that occur monthly. Is MS Bookings set-up for group bookings, such as an online class? I noticed that if no one signs up for a class, it doesn't show on the MS Bookings calendar. So there is no way to see the set class time, if no one books. I find that all of the information does not display on the Customer tab, such as the required phone number. The answers to the additional questions do not display on the customer tab. I have to go into the scheduled date, find the customer and use the edit function to see the answers. MS bookings does not seem to be functioning in an intuitive manner. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks for this tutorial Kevin! I was wondering if there is an option to limit the number of hours that can be booked per staff member? For example, Let's say I work 20 hours a week, and I want to allow customers to book 12 of these hours. I want to give them the options of all of my 20 hours, but when 12 hours have been booked I don't want any more hours to be available. So, just to summarize again, I want the customers to have the options of all 20 hours so that they have flexible options, but once 12 of my 20 hours are booked, I'd like the other eight hours to become unavailable. Anyone know?
Hi Kevin, thanks for the explanations, which helped a lot. If you can solve the following problem then you will be my hero and we can use the bookings tool: How do you solve the issue if your service is at different locations? Let's say the consultant wants to offer a slot for one day in a month in Paris, then in Munich, than London... etc. All booking tools until now are about the same location, but what if it changes? I only see that customers can choose location service. Or would I need to set a calendar service for "Consulting Paris", "Consulting Rome", etc.? Looking forward to your reply.
Kevin - As always great content. The only thing I am stuck on is how do I get my Booking events to show up on my Outlook calendar so I do not miss them or find myself double booked? I feel like I am missing a small detail but this is critical!
When you send out a booking to a parent does the parent see the teacher email address or do they see a generic email address? If two teachers in the same department/subject create a booking schedule, does the available booking time link with each teacher's booking calendar? Thanks for creating great video's Kevin.
After setting up my first service, it doesn't recognize my personal calendar. Does this mean I have to transfer my personal calendar to my service calendar? Like other apps (that integrate with MS), I want my calendars to automatically disable dates and times booked. If anyone has a solution, please share. Thank you in advance.
Nice job Kevin. To anyone... We have reception staff that book out other educational tutors. How does that work? We don't want the reception staff to be "bookable", just the tutors. Can I hide the receptionists but still have them log in to book appts on the student's behalf?
Could you tell me more about what you're trying to do? Do you have set times for meetings and then you want people to sign up for those set times? Bookings is more meant for individual customers / students to pick a time from available times vs. multiple students choosing from a set of pre-determined times.
@@KevinStratvert @kay hardin I am an educator and looking for the same functionality as Kay where I can allow multiple people to sign up for one particular workshop. Can I make bookings work for this or do you suggest another Microsoft feature?
Wow! So easy to understand. I am looking to use this for dock scheduling for deliveries. Any thoughts how this would work? I was thinking staff could be the dock number.
Awesome! Per my understanding, MS Bookings is for business accounts. How about those who have consumers accounts who would like to book meetings with family members or friends in different time zones? I have a consumer account, using 1 TB for each account of my family member, Do I have to get a business plan to get MS Bookings? Is there another app in MS 365? Thank you.
Hi @kevin stratvert this is really good , thanks. Is there a way to get the data of patient that booked with the dentist (for example) and what time? As one would get data file for Forms.
Great series of videos and thanks so much - we are a franchise location so we have our Exchange email and calendar with the Franchise e-mail address. Our version of MS Office is only for our office - and those email inboxes are generally not monitored.... my question is can we set up bookings to use our exchange calendars from the franchise?
Hi Kevin, is there a way I can add recurring appointments for my customers? I have student schedule that is recurring and need to add appointment as such.
hi @kevin, fantastic tool! currently using it for meeting bookings. i do have an issue with default assignment to one of my staff set as team member, but i don't want that person being the default. i want the default to go to someone else who is actually managing this booking page, so any notifications are sent to this person or a default email inbox. please help!
Great video Kevin. However, when I try to access the site I'm met with a "Server Error in '/' Application." Page and cannot get around it. This happens across devices, browsers and networks, whether logged in or not or in incognito. Any idea what might be going on here?
I would love to see how you could make a phone directory that automatically updates based on a company's active directory. We would like to house ours on the company Intranet page (SharePoint) but any and all options are good!
Hi Kevin, great your explanation about Bookings, but how can I add another calendar ?. For instance, I work mainly with iCal (Mac) and it would be great to merge both calendars on Bookings. That is possible ?.
I'm trying to use this to book appointments in two different rooms. How can I integrate custom rooms and their availabilities? (away from what the organisation has set up as rooms; I want to make my own as these are makeshift locations for a pilot project)
Thank you for tons of explanatory videos. Keep up the good work and save us from wasting time and being disappointed when we have to deal with new tasks! :-)
Really interesting! Does anybody know if we can use the Bookings app to book outlook rooms? I would put the all the rooms as part of the staff so everybody in the organisation could have a user friendly and more interactive platform to book the rooms (conference rooms or shared desk) instead of going through the outlook calendar. If not any suggestions?
Great video. But i want people to book a room with 30minute timeslots. But also make them available for multiple hours. So for instance Pete needs a room for 1 hour. And Johan needs a room for 3 hours. How do i do that?
I've set this up for work so as to allow bookings for EV chargers ..would you suggest setting up services for individual chargers ? ....as it stands it allows multiple bookings for same time slots but there is no way of limiting this to just the 6 chargers
We have just started using MS Teams and your videos are my go to, especially for all the new features. I have picked up so much not just in MS Teams. Clear, concise with a sense of humour, thank you.
Thanks Kevin! I just learned a new MS tool in under 30 minutes! great review with great real life scenarios, awesome how your videos help even 2 years later!
You're my new favorite UA-camr. This is brilliant. Thank you!
These videos include things I would never had ever seen and realised on Microsoft. Thank you so much!
Dude im warning you dont answer to that guy who said wanna be friends its dangerous
Thank you for your videos. I started a new job and never had to use these softwares in previous jobs. You've help me learn new skills in a short amount of time and decrease my anxiety. Hopefully learning these microsoft products will lead to a pay increase in the future. Thanks Kevin 👍🏾

thanks kevin, your video helped me resolve an issues i was having with setting up MS booking for my business
Thanks for this overview, Kevin! We're rolling out bookings as a way to encourage our members to schedule time with us when they need assistance or want to book key services like our ribbon cuttings and outreach visits. This was a great overview to get us started.
Hey! I'm from Erie! Small world
Your presentation is very clear to the point. Excellent!!!
MS Office 365 has many applications. I want to know for each of them what is the best practice. For example, when to use Teams, and when to use SharePoint. Thanks for the great videos, Kevin!
I had trouble understanding my trainer so I ended up here. Thank you Kevin 🤣🤣
Well done Kelvin. Good job.
Nice overview and very clear explanation on how to use Booking effectively
Hi Kevin, great tutorial! I'm an IT guy and am going to start using this within the firm to book installations and such. Should be interesting.

I guess it is better to schedule a meeting in a teams.
This was so insightful!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
Good job on the video content Kevin. A few suggestions though; I've seen other screen recordings from other people that either zoom the screen when you click on an item or highlight the clicks on the screen. And I think having a black larger Mouse would be helpful as well. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! I did some research today and will include a highlighted cursor moving forward so it's really clear to see where it is. I'll also make sure to zoom in closer so you can see all the details. Always things to keep improving on :)
Awesome tutorial Kevin! I was able to follow along with you and set up my bookings~! Very helpful! Keep up the great work! Thank youuuuuuu!!!
Thank you, this tutorial helped me a lot!! Even two years later!! Greetings from Brasil! 🇧🇷

Yes Kevin! Would love some tutorials and use cases for Project Online.
Thank you Kevin for the Awesome video. It would be great if you could create an updated video on Microsoft Bookings as a lot has changed on GUI & Options.

Great content. Can you add payments?
Thank you for the great video. Can you cover how to delete a service or calendar?
Kevin, is there a way to have multiple people book onto a meeting at the same time? Say for a class? The beauty of this would be the link to teams and training?
Thank you for this video. I wish I had this at work earlier today. You are a gem🤗. I look forward to viewing more of your videos
Great video Kevin... my question is how do i use the Microsoft booking for a corporate shared mail box not personal like mine so the bookings can be in that calendar primarily
Great channel and great information presented in an easy to understand process. Thank you!
this makes more sense. I have a personal account.
Hello Kevin, this is a great video! I wonder if you would update the video with new changes to Bookings. Thank you!
Thank you Kevin. Awesome tutorial !
Great presentation! is there a way to coordinate multiple people from outside your team so they can collaborate on a time. Maybe give options and then each person says what options work for them.
Could you show how to add multiple services on one? For example a massage therapist you can book a 30 min, 45, 60min appointment etc and how to show their different prices
Do people have to have Office 365 to book, and can they make payments on this platform? Great tutorial. Thanks
Hi Kevin, thanks for your video, Love it, can you guilde us how to make a booking Meeting Room for a company that has many Conference room?
Can you do a video on bookings to illustrate how property management firms can organize bookings for clients who have shown interest in a house they want to buy or rent?
Thank you for this tutorial, it was very informative! However, I have a few questions:
1. I accidently created a booking page that I do not want anymore- how do I delete it?
2. I have multiple booking pages -- one for our business and then a few separate ones for each staff member. Is there an easy way that I can switch from one of these pages to another without having to search each time?
You may find that page in office 365 users.
great video. but how do you invite two people on the same meeting? how do you do it?
My homepage doesn't have ANY of these things. There is no sidebar with settings, no getting started, nothing except for one booking page that I made last year. Multiple browsers.
Thank you for your easy to understand presentation! In the video your "not created in Bookings" appointments show up "Busy" in the Bookings calendar. Mine do not show up at all. What is the fix for this? I've spent hours searching for a solution. TIA!

Hi Kevin, thanks for this. are we able to make ourselves available for 2 different time periods on the same day eg. 9-1.30pm and then again from3pm until 6pm?
Excellent!!! Custom Fields question: I want to add a custom field that is required but the required box is greyed out.
Make sure you enable the custom question first - click on it to make it look highlighted. Then the required box should be an option
Thank you Kevin for your effort.
Hi Kevin! Is there any way to book more than one person for an event? For example, I want my staff (e.g., John) to search for a time when I and someone else (e.g., Lucy) are available for a meeting. John would search for booking options based on availability on my and Lucy's calendar, book a time where we both are available, and we both would be notified.
Thank you! This was so helpful!

I cannot find this.

Thanks!
When you send out a booking to a parent does the parent see the teacher email address or do they see a generic email address?
If two teachers in the same department/subject create a booking schedule, does the available booking time link with each teacher's booking calendar? Thanks for creating great video's Kevin.
Great informative, inspiring and helpful
Thank you Kevin, that was very informative!
Very useful video!
After setting up my first service, it doesn't recognize my personal calendar.
Does this mean I have to transfer my personal calendar to my service calendar?
Like other apps (that integrate with MS), I want my calendars to automatically disable dates and times booked.
If anyone has a solution, please share.
Thank you in advance.
Nice job Kevin. To anyone... We have reception staff that book out other educational tutors. How does that work? We don't want the reception staff to be "bookable", just the tutors. Can I hide the receptionists but still have them log in to book appts on the student's behalf?
Great video! Question: does this allow for classes at specific times? We host meetings, classes, and webinar for preset times.
Could you tell me more about what you're trying to do? Do you have set times for meetings and then you want people to sign up for those set times? Bookings is more meant for individual customers / students to pick a time from available times vs. multiple students choosing from a set of pre-determined times.
@@KevinStratvert @kay hardin I am an educator and looking for the same functionality as Kay where I can allow multiple people to sign up for one particular workshop. Can I make bookings work for this or do you suggest another Microsoft feature?
Hi! Did you find another feature for this type of problem? In that case, I would really appreciate it if you want to share your solutions :)
Wow! So easy to understand. I am looking to use this for dock scheduling for deliveries. Any thoughts how this would work? I was thinking staff could be the dock number.
Awesome! Per my understanding, MS Bookings is for business accounts. How about those who have consumers accounts who would like to book meetings with family members or friends in different time zones? I have a consumer account, using 1 TB for each account of my family member, Do I have to get a business plan to get MS Bookings? Is there another app in MS 365? Thank you.
Hi @kevin stratvert this is really good , thanks. Is there a way to get the data of patient that booked with the dentist (for example) and what time? As one would get data file for Forms.
Thanks for the tutorial, really easy to understand and follow, great You Tuber.
hi, i couldn't get the teams meeting invite in the emails send to customers and staff, can you help?
Great series of videos and thanks so much - we are a franchise location so we have our Exchange email and calendar with the Franchise e-mail address. Our version of MS Office is only for our office - and those email inboxes are generally not monitored.... my question is can we set up bookings to use our exchange calendars from the franchise?
Hi Kevin. Love this. I tried to go in but it says the platform is not secure.
Superb pro and techie services providing "day by day" by Microsoft IoT.
Hi Kevin, is there a way I can add recurring appointments for my customers? I have student schedule that is recurring and need to add appointment as such.
hi @kevin, fantastic tool! currently using it for meeting bookings. i do have an issue with default assignment to one of my staff set as team member, but i don't want that person being the default. i want the default to go to someone else who is actually managing this booking page, so any notifications are sent to this person or a default email inbox. please help!
You are awesome and thank you for the informative video
Lots of great info, thank you; can I create a QR code for my customers to scan and create an appointment? thank you in advance..
Great video Kevin. However, when I try to access the site I'm met with a "Server Error in '/' Application." Page and cannot get around it. This happens across devices, browsers and networks, whether logged in or not or in incognito. Any idea what might be going on here?
I would love to see how you could make a phone directory that automatically updates based on a company's active directory. We would like to house ours on the company Intranet page (SharePoint) but any and all options are good!
Hi Kevin, great your explanation about Bookings, but how can I add another calendar ?.
For instance, I work mainly with iCal (Mac) and it would be great to merge both calendars on Bookings.
That is possible ?.
Can I set it up so that I can use zoom for online meetings instead of teams?
I'm trying to use this to book appointments in two different rooms. How can I integrate custom rooms and their availabilities? (away from what the organisation has set up as rooms; I want to make my own as these are makeshift locations for a pilot project)
Thank you for tons of explanatory videos. Keep up the good work and save us from wasting time and being disappointed when we have to deal with new tasks! :-)
Really interesting! Does anybody know if we can use the Bookings app to book outlook rooms? I would put the all the rooms as part of the staff so everybody in the organisation could have a user friendly and more interactive platform to book the rooms (conference rooms or shared desk) instead of going through the outlook calendar. If not any suggestions?
Great video. But i want people to book a room with 30minute timeslots. But also make them available for multiple hours. So for instance Pete needs a room for 1 hour. And Johan needs a room for 3 hours. How do i do that?
I've set this up for work so as to allow bookings for EV chargers ..would you suggest setting up services for individual chargers ? ....as it stands it allows multiple bookings for same time slots but there is no way of limiting this to just the 6 chargers
