How can I link a certain calendar to Microsoft Booking?

Microsoft Booking automatically uses "My calendar" in outlook but I have created a additional calendar in outlook called "Reservation Calendar". How can I get Microsoft Booking to use the reservation calendar instead of "My calendar" so when individuals book a time slot it doesnt appear on "my calendar" within outlook but the "reservation calendar" which is also in outlook?

    Hi LaurenMBA,

     

    I’ve noticed that Microsoft Bookings only links with your primary calendar. However, there are a couple of workarounds you can explore:

    1. Shared Mailbox (SM):

      • While Bookings doesn’t directly pick up availability from shared mailboxes, you can still use them.
      • Keep in mind that the calendar availability won’t be reflected on the Bookings page.
    2. Delegate Account:

      • Set up a separate mailbox account.
      • Make yourself a delegate for that account.
      • Assign that account to a service in Bookings.
      • This way, the calendar availability will be accurately reflected.

     

    Good luck!

     

    Warm regards,

    LaurenMBA I'm also interested in whether this is an option. We have a dedicated meeting room calendar and it would be great if appointments could directly reference it.

      I have the same query. We already have a diary calendar, it would be useful to convert this into one that can accept bookings without having to start again.
