Allowing multiple bookings for the same time in Microsoft Bookings
There is a workaround for this - create the number of dummy staff up to the maximum number of 'customers' that you want to book into the session, and assign them all to the service. So if you want 20 seats available at the training you create 20 dummy 'staff'. Once all 20 seats have been booked that date will no longer be available.
Hi Geoff
I've created "dummy staff" to allow multiple people to book the same slot for a group dog training class but it won't allow me to use a generic business email for multiple staff?
Is there a way around this? I don't want to be creating 8 different fake email addresses!
Thank you
Sue Waugh did you ever manage to find a solution to this? I have run into the same problem.
Hi Andy, I was having issues then I did the following.
Choose a service from your options. On the number of attendees, right click 'inspect element' (image attached). Where you see 'disabled' highlight that and then delete it from the code. You should then see arrows up and down. Use these to choose the number of attendees and make sure you click 'save' on your service button. This should fix the problem I hope. Take care, Sarah
SarahB19 It seems that this trick does not work anymore. The code is not the same and when I delete the highlighted element the whole funciton dissapears. Can you send updated instructions and screenshot? Thanks

HeftigEule are you trying to convert an existing a single person service to a group service? I would recommend creating a new service with maximum attendees set to the number of people you want to be able to support booking in parallel. Note that as long as the initial value is greater than 1, the field will remain editable and you can change it to any value > 1 without hacks.
- Tried this and it worked. Thanks!!
