Group Bookings in MS Bookings
Russ Thomson I see the option, it lets me set it to something other than 1 and it saves fine, however, it still only allows one person to pick that time slot to book it. Additional participants/customers have to be sent an invitation from the Bookings site owner. What is the possible use case for this?
Kreera_House my system has now caught up with yours and I can create a multi person event. However, as you mentioned, the functionality is really restricted. I find myself asking myself the same question. What possible use is this? Have you got any further? My expectation had been to publish an internal training session that staff members could book themselves on to. This was based on the description given:
---
"Group bookings lets you to set up service appointments where multiple people can join a session with a single staff member. You can use group bookings to schedule conferences, lectures or training sessions with several people at the same time." - https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/define-your-service-offerings-in-microsoft-bookings-4a1c391e-524f-48e0-bef8-185df3a9634b

So far I'm a little underwhelmed
philmaynard_wap my functionality has changed since I made this post - rather than entering a value in the max attendees field and it not saving, the field is now greyed out with a default value of 1. I'll create a ticket with MS. I'm also curious to know, if this worked and I had say 25 attendees, how I would retrieve those 25 names - in the past when I've created a Booking for an event with multiple slots and say 5 attendees max/ slot (using 5x staff members for a service), the attendee names have had to be retrieved from the calendar view, which really is not ideal/ something customers complain about.
- hi
in october 2020, same problems as yours.
Sometimes, it's greyed, sometimes, i can setup the maximun attendees but not save it, sometimes, it's works correctly.
incomprehensible...
Just had opened a ticket to the support.
