Allowing multiple bookings for the same time in Microsoft Bookings
Hi, I am trying to setup a bookings calendar that allows multiple people to book the same service at the same time. In this instance it is First Aid Training for a specific day without time incre...
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.
Good afternoon!
I am struggling to find a way to to allow double booking on microsoft bookings. I have already tried increasing the number of attendees, also creating two services with the same characteristics. This feature is crucial for me. Would someone know what to do?
Thank you in advance!

Hi YuliaKozlova, I achieved this by creating two different staff members for myself. I created an alias for my email address so they could have two different email addresses. Then I could accept parallel bookings.
- Thank you for the prompt response. I do have my colleagues assigned to my service, a total of three staff are assigned to each booking, does that not count?
- Hmm, I'm not sure of your situation exactly, and whether my solution is relevant, but my solution allows me to book clients every 15 mins, for a service which lasts 45 mins, with the same staff member (me). So I have one service and three staff (Me 1, Me 2, Me 3), with different availability start times. Clients are offered 9am, 9.15am, 9.30am, etc. Client 1 can book Me 1 at 9am, Client 2 can book Me 2 at 9.15am, etc.
