Overview

Product Information on Microsoft Bookings

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Microsoft Bookings?

Microsoft Bookings is a software designed to facilitate appointment scheduling and management for businesses and organizations. The software enables users to create customized booking pages that can be shared with customers, allowing them to book services, consultations, or meetings based on staff availability. Features include calendar integration, automated confirmations and reminders, rescheduling capabilities, and the ability to collect customer information during the booking process. Microsoft Bookings streamlines the scheduling workflow, reducing manual coordination and minimizing the risk of double bookings, which helps organizations save time and improve efficiency in managing appointments.

Microsoft Bookings Pricing

Microsoft Bookings software uses a subscription-based pricing model and is included as part of certain Microsoft 365 plans. Access to the software's features is determined by the user's Microsoft 365 subscription tier, with availability integrated for businesses subscribing to applicable plans. Standalone purchase options for the software are not offered.

Overall experience with Microsoft Bookings

FAVORABLE

“MS Bookings is an excellent tool where premium support of customers is required”

5.0
Jan 7, 2026
We used Microsoft Bookings to fill a specific need, allowing end-customers to book specific time slots without customer service agents in support of a premium product that we were offering, that in some cases requires more in-depth explanation and setup assistance than our typical product mix. We found the tool to be absolutely superb in doing this, with a straightforward workflow for customers and good customization options for us.

CRITICAL

“Familiar Interface Supports Productivity, Yet Calendar Configuration Remains Challenging”

3.0
Nov 10, 2025
I think the overall experience with Microsoft Bookings is satisfactory. There isnt much that it does to separate itself from other companies, both in a good way and a bad way. The user interface simple but could be improved upon. Because of the widespread use of Microsoft products is what helps drive this product, not necessarily its functionality.

Microsoft Bookings Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ability to show agent availability without publicly showing specific agent names, and showing availability based on real-time calendar availability of our pool of agents was critical to us for our needs.

Like

What I like most about this product is that it syncs directly with my calendar via Microsoft which is so widely used. Its features accomplish what I am looking for in a product which makes it an easy choice.

Like

Let's talk about being able to schedule a meeting and the link is created and then integrated with teams making it easier for you to access the meeting when the time comes. It also provides you with automated reminders so you can never forget that you have a meeting or even be late for it.

Dislike

While the level of customization was good and sufficient for our needs, we did run into limitations with how the final form shown to a customer could be customized. So while we we able to make this on-brand, it did not provide the level of customization that we hoped for. It would also be helpful if we could have excluded certain events in agent calendars from blocking out time in the tool.

Dislike

What I dislike moste about Microsoft bookings is that it makes it more complicated than other companies to get it up and running and synced to your calendar. Once its there, it works just fine - but the build up to it and clickability could be improved.

Dislike

It does have its limitations, some users say that scheduling an appointment on the first attempt can be really tricky. And for instance if a staff member needs to be booked, it can be a hassle as they would need to have their own Microsoft Word 365 license and this may not be ideal for some businesses.

    Microsoft Bookings: A powerful, Easy to use scheduling tool.

    4.0
    Nov 25, 2025
    I would consider it a user friendly tool, it simplifies how businesses and organizations manage their appointments. The great part about this is that it integrates well with teams and outlook. However, this is great for those who already rely on Microsoft's productivity tools. I love the fact that it has a self service page which allows patients to schedule their own appointments without doing the back and forth regarding calls or emails from the office.
