Adding staff to multiple shared Bookings pages with approval required
Hi, We are building an interview scheduling solution using shared Bookings pages. We have around 2,000 hiring managers who could be involved over time, and we need to add them to different booking pages depending on the recruitment. We have the setting Require staff approvals before sharing free/busy information enabled, and we need to keep it enabled. Is there a way for a manager to approve sharing their availability once, and then have an admin add them to other shared Bookings pages without the manager having to accept a new invitation for each page? We are looking at automating this with Graph or Power Automate. Would a Bookings super user or Exchange admin have any options to manage this? Or is there a way for the manager to approve multiple pages at the same time? If not, how would you recommend handling this when staff need to be added and moved between pages over time? Thanks!
Bookings - No more notes or extra fields available
Hi there and happy new year to all. Starting from mid-december, we are facing an issue with our company Microsoft Bookings: basically the custom fields (like address, notes and so on). The book page will just ask for Name & Surname, E-mail Address and Phone Number. On our Administration back-end, the Customer Notes fileds is greyed out (you cannot enable it), and all the custom fields disappeared, you have just the standard ones. We have this issue in all our different booking pages, and all the services are affected. Any hint about this? Thanks!Teams Premium + Bookings : Automatic recording and transcription for Bookings meetings ?
Hello, I have a Teams Premium license, recording and transcription policies are enabled on the admin side, and Video Recap works correctly when both are active simultaneously in the same meeting. My use case : my clients book time slots via Microsoft Bookings. Teams meetings are therefore created automatically by Bookings and I have no control over their scheduling. According to Microsoft Learn documentation (Manage the Virtual appointment meeting template and Microsoft Bookings), there is no documented mechanism to automatically apply a Teams meeting template, and therefore automatic recording and transcription, to meetings generated by Bookings. My question: has anyone found a workaround for this limitation (Power Automate, Graph API, or anything else)? And does Microsoft have a documented roadmap on this topic? This gap directly prevents Teams Premium users from accessing Video Recap on their client meetings, which is one of the core use cases Teams Premium is designed for. Thank you for your help
Booking Error Message
Microsoft Bookings public booking page displays “Something went wrong. We couldn't book that appointment,” but the appointment is actually created in the Bookings/Outlook calendar. The issue occurs even when using different browsers and Incognito mode. I checked availability and other things, everything looks fine. How to fix this?
"We couldn't book that appointment. Please try again." Error Message
We are receiving this error message when bookings are made. The booking request is still sent to the staff calander and shows on our bookings page. The issue is that the customers will not be able to confirm that their booking has been completed successfully .
Microsoft Bookings: Already booked slots remain visible and selectable for some time
Hello everyone, I am experiencing an issue with Microsoft Bookings and would like to understand whether this is expected behavior, a configuration issue, or a known product limitation. The issue: When a user books a slot, the booking is created successfully. However, if another user opens the booking page shortly afterwards, the same slot is still shown as available for at least 5 minutes and can be selected. Only when they try to complete the booking, they receive a weird error message that asks them to "please try again" (see screenshot). Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known caching or synchronization delay in Bookings, or are there any settings that can improve the refresh of available slots? How can I fix this? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Issues with Creating of Shared Booking Page in MS Bookings

Hi, Following the documentation, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/places/configure-desk-booking, I successfully ran the shared command lines without any errors. However, on Microsoft Places, I am unable to see individual desks appear; only desk pools are visible. Has anyone managed to get this to work? Thanks,
Bookings 2026, Cannot Find or Edit "Staff" Configs
Whenever a staff member goes to bookings, they can share their 15- and 30-minute times, but they do not see Staff or anything on the left side of the window like if the menus were available. I am a global admin and even I don't see those left pane options. We made a user the Virtual Visits Admin and they also don't see those options. So how do we get Bookings to consider other calendar appointments already in place so there is no double booking? There is also not a three lines icon to open the pane to see the left side menus.
Multi-day all-day event in Bookings calendar does not block staff availability (single-day works)
I've found a reproducible issue with Microsoft Bookings staff availability blocking. Scenario: One of my staff members went on vacation. To block her availability without removing her hours, I created an all-day event directly in the Bookings calendar covering her entire vacation week. Problem: - When I create a single-day all-day event → her time slots are correctly removed from the booking page. - When I create a multi-day all-day event (covering the full week) → her time slots still appear as available on the booking page. Expected behavior: A multi-day all-day event should block availability the same way a single-day event does. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix or ETA?
