Hi Timothy Lessing 

 

You can try this by ticking the option 'events on office calendar affect availability'.

To do this you need to make sure that you yourself are added as staff and then tick this option ( available just under the availability column) and then press save. 

 

Hope that helps.

sagark92 Unfortunately your suggestion won't work. This option just allows Bookings to pull availability from the user's personal calendar. Timothy Lessing  is asking if Bookings can pull from another, non-Office 365 calendar which he has added to his Outlook calendars.

 

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible. We currently use Calendly and it does have this ability, which is nice since we track client meetings/appointments/etc in a separate CRM and then add the CRM's calendar to Outlook - so Calendly will show the user as unavailable if they have a meeting scheduled through the CRM.

 

I have added a UserVoice suggestion here if you want to upvote it: https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/314907-microsoft-bookings/suggestions/40489966-pull-a-user-s-availability-from-multiple-calendars
