Bookings shows available time slots even though it is booked in my calendar
I created a personal booking page. But I do not see the time slots displayed in my calendar and when I go to the booking page, all time are available completely not taking into account the meetings that are already in my calendar. Why in the name of god would you ever design a self booking function that does not look at existing meetings in the target calendar.
Worked with google self scheduler and calendly and this is absolutely a non existing problem for both of these platforms. Now transitioned to 365 and I can't seem to get a simple feature as a self scheduler set up :( Attached a screenshot of all the available configuration options.
So 2 questions:
- I want to see the blocks in my calendar (attached an example of google self scheduler how it shows up in your calendar
- it completely ignores meetings in my calendar and lets people book those slots leading to double bookings.
Please help me out.

So there is still no solution for this problem with Bookings and calendar.
Also having this issue.
I am also having this problem. It's on a Bookings page for students to request help from librarians with their research. Bookings is supposed to check Outlook (we have this toggled on for everyone) and then randomly send a request to a librarian who is free, but lately it sends requests to librarians who are busy. There is no pattern to this. I've checked all the settings and the time zones etc. are all correct. Please help!
Same here. I have been trying different settings, nothing changes...
Same problem. Shared booking pages, its only my calendar that isn't syncing?
I am also having this problem. I see the appointments in my calendar but expected that I'd also be able to see who took what slot when I'm on my bookings page so I don't have to go back and forth. This is really frustrating!
Same here. It's as if it's not syncing availability immediately or correctly. I'm unsure how to troubleshoot.
I am also having the same problem. Due to IT security issues we are only allowed to use Bookings which at this point is completely useless. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.
Great broken tech, that is even availabe for free through calendly type of solutions in a well paid product. haha. Oh boy I really am not enjoying my return to microsoft after 10 years :(
I'm trying to use Bookings to book time with our team at a trade show, and am running into a similar issue. It was working perfectly when I tested it out prior to launching the bookings page, but now it's allowing people to book meetings on top of each other.
