Announcement: Bring in business 24/7 with Microsoft Bookings
To help make appointment scheduling simpler and more efficient for you, your staff and your customers, Microsoft is introducing a new Office 365 service called Microsoft Bookings!
Customers can schedule your business directly online
Reduce missed appointments with confirmations and reminders
Make it easy for your customers to reschedule or cancel bookings
Manage bookings and customer information from anywhere
Automatically add bookings on staff calendars
Bookings is now rolling out in First Release to customers who subscribe to the Office 365 Business Premium plan and will roll out to all Business Premium customers worldwide in the coming months. Read more of Office Blogs.
Seems pretty lame that it would only be available in the business plans and not the enterprise plans, in fact it really just makes no sense. Random choice but perhaps there are plans we are not yet aware of. Either way good for our customers that subscribe to the business plans.
Has any one recieved access to Bookings yet? We're on E5 so we're not going to get it for a while, but we have some questions. For example, can appointments be sent by SMS?
I'm on biz premium and I expect an icon will turn up in my apps, just as sway, planner and delve did - so no, nothing yet.
If I'm looking in the wrong place, can someone let me know :)
Your admin must put you on : First Release. After you match :)
is there a way to preview this without having to subscribe to a new SBP tenant ?
- No there is not, at least for now
- Lana O'Brien could you please share the question about where bookings data is stored with the team?
I have Office 365 Business Premium tenant but I can find Microsoft Booking on the Office 365 Launch Bar.
Does anybody know when Micrisift Bookings sitll be available?

Are you on First Release? Those will be the ones to get it first.
After that no one really knows how long it will take to roll out to the rest, it could be many months unfortunately.
- Yes, we have First Release turned on on several tenants that we administrate, but we can't see Bookings :-(
Very Good!! We are waiting for it to come to E3 and E5
Lana O'BrienAwesome. Great stuff
Is there any plan to role this out to GCC tenants?
