None that I am aware of from MS. It still will not allow multiple staff to be automatically part of a booking appointment. (1 appointment assigned to a team of staff)
We are using the manual process I described above here in the meantime.

According to the O365 roadmap, this functionality will be released to "general availability" in Oct 2022. Entry was last updated on Sept 13. Fingers crossed. - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=bookings%2Cmulti-staff
- JeVaSaDec 01, 2022Copper ContributorLast update stated general availability is November 2022. It's December 1- I double checked and see no update.
- David_CianDec 05, 2022Copper ContributorI really wish they would implement this, Bookings is basically unusable for us without it... We're a small startup, we all have different schedules and for some "services" all of us need to be present.

But to find common times amougnst team members and resources would be a total game changer. They have another solution "Findtime" that I've tried using in the past. But it requires that one puts time on hold which quickly negates the benefit and pollutes scheduled. Bookings is 90% awesome and 10% utter disappointment. So close to 100% awesome. Hopefully soon.

MikeFM2063 -- It looks like we can add additional staff after the fact, but that doesn't really help with scheduling. Either they meant NOvember or November 2122.
