In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to make a personal bookings page using Microsoft Outlook. A booking page allows you to setup a website that people can use to book time with you based on when you're available on your calendar. It helps eliminate that back and forth that usually associated with scheduling meetings. One caveat, you do need a Microsoft work or school account.

I have spent so much time comparing booking pages and rates, flexibilities etc. Right now ll I wanted was exactly what you showed! I ended up in a week's worth of research and application learning hell. Literally! What a waste of time and lost advertising time equalling lost business. Typically I stay away from anything Microsoft. (many reasons Long story not needed) but I'm incredibly grateful for running across your video tutorial!

Very informative thank you! I do have a question regarding the blocks. One ca set up 1 hour, 30min blocks and so on. But is there an option to let the client see your availability and the decide that he needs for example 2h:45 starting from 8:10? This would also be great as a meeting room management system if you share the room with different organizations or if you have member who are not in your organization but being able to book the room! Thanks Kevin!

Great video. I will be sharing with coworkers. For the Personal booking page. Is there a way to change the picture options for the banner? On the personal page I only see stock pictures, and to be honest, they aren't great. I know how to change for the Shared page but was wanting different picture for personal. Thanks.

Thank you for making this video! I'm a teacher and I'd love to use this software to allow students to book office hours with me, but I don't want to limit the appointments to 1 on 1. I typically meet with groups of between 1 and 4 students, who all book independently. Is there a way to make the time slots non-exclusive, so that a small number of people could book the same appointment? Thanks again 🙏

Yes. When you "add a service" one of the options is Maximum number of attendees.

Hi Kevin, Good day. We would like to know if this Booking Page is suitable for our booking purpose. We have around 100+ time slots available within the upcoming few months for the public to book and take up. Each time slot is an hour and can only be booked and taken up by one party/ voter. We would like to open up these slots for the public to vote, are we able to do so and if we could, are we able to generate the summarized report on the final voting result? During the voting process, we understand that voters could change and update their vote. Could be set a vote closing time? Will voters' detailed (name of voter / Organization) and their voting date and time slot booked be captured in the final voting summary report? Thank you. Chok

Hi, Kevin. . I would like to know if it is possible to automate Booking by creating a planner task within Teams informing who the staff will do the task, but without allowing the client to choose the staff. The staff person has to be selected randomly through booking and then, with automation, send it to teams by opening a task in the planner informing who from the staff will do the meeting. I appreciate your response. Thank you very much!

could be a conflict somewhere in availability or the options in the page.

this is possible through the Shared Bookings page, there's an option to set specific days and hours for that particular "service". And you can set it individually for each service you create.

@KevinStratvert - I am experimenting with a new Bookings page, and tested it out as the "invitee" from a separate computer using my personal email. When I attempted to book, I got prompted to login to a Microsoft account. When I rejected the Microsoft login, I was prompted to authenticate my email by clicking a link in a message Microsoft Bookings sent to my inbox in order to book the meeting. Is this normal? I am afraid of creating friction in the "book a meeting" workflow if guests have to login to Microsoft *OR* confirm a follow-up email to book... This seems like too much friction relative to other tools I have used (Calendly, HubSpot Meetings) - or am I doing something wrong?

there's a way to allow for people to join the meeting "anonymously" without the need to login to any account. It's a checkbox in the shared booking page.

In your video, it looks like your meeting is coming through as tentative and you have the option to approve it. Mine meetings are coming through as pre-approved. I can cancel or reschedule, but they are automatically accepted and it doesn't appear that there is an option to review or confirm.

not really, because tentative is being seen as busy by the bookings tool. But if you set your availability to free on those specific meetings (has to be done manually) it could work

Why did the first video get taken down for "bullying or harassment"?!

@brockray4038 5 ай бұрын

One thing not shown here that's really annoying is that the Personal Bookings Page requires users to either sign in to the Microsoft account or click Continue as Guest. You can't bypass this, which is just terrible usability. Interestingly, if you set up a shared bookings page, the link does not require this extra step. *But* it creates a new, unlicensed Microsoft account based on the name of the shared calendar, and you can't reuse an existing MS email address). Why is nothing with Microsoft ever straightforward?!? They seem to really hate users!

@Titanify 4 ай бұрын

I agree, creating a new MS email address for the page is annoying, but on the other hand if you're creative with it, it doesn't look that bad.

@Peter_M 8 ай бұрын

really do not understand why there is not "Open time" service option .. where customer can decide how much time he wants.. Also this app does not support booking "request" - so customer will request time window and i as service provider will approve it or reject it.. Like : "I as customer want to book car rental - Porsche 911" me as service provider will put there - Yes i approve it because we have one ready for you or .. reject request .. sorry our car was delayed or current customer extended rental... just example. Unfortunately "Booking app" is very simple and does not support lot of use cases I need :/

@@Eternal_Tech it’s pretty lame… I logged into a demo account for Nestor to show the end to end flow and made a joke that I was able to log in because I am the IT admin at the Kevin Cookie Company. KZfaq said: “Content that shares, threatens to share, encourages others to share non-public personally identifiable information isn’t allowed on KZfaq. This includes, but is not limited to, an individual’s home address, email address, sign-in credentials, phone number, passport number, medical records, and bank account information.” I guess they didn’t realize that Nestor is a fictitious character here at the company. I updated the video to remove the reference and blurred out all demo account emails. 😔

@@KevinStratvert KZfaq has gone to extremes when it comes to content moderation. I have had comments deleted that contained nothing threatening, profane, illegal, discriminatory, etc. However, with comments, I receive no notice that they were deleted and certainly no reason for why they were removed. Many content creators have resorted to using code words when discussing certain topics in order not to trigger demonetization or worse. For example, KZfaq does not appear to like the "s" word when it comes to the action of a person taking their own life. Some have resorted to using the term, "self deletion," in its place. This occurs when "self deletion" is not encouraged, but just when stated as a fact or discussed as a social issue. In addition, online censorship by large tech companies has become a class issue. For example, expensive Hollywood movies often depict massive amounts of violence, s?xual situations, obscene language, acts of discrimination, inappropriate behavior, etc. However, not only does KZfaq allow such Hollywood movies on their site, they permit ads on them as well. But if a smaller content creator uploads a video that insinuates someone has shared personally identifiable information of a fictitious character, then that video is removed, but the Hollywood movie that shows people being killed, often in graphic and horrible ways, is considered perfectly acceptable. It would be nice if there was a suitable alternative to KZfaq that did not believe that _1984_ is a guidebook that should be followed.
