To set up a booking link on your profile:
Once you have received access to MS Bookings, and have built your calendar, ensure that it is synced with your Outlook calendar, so that your bookings do not compete with other appointments.
You need to manually adjust your MS Booking Time Zone when setting up your calendar. Otherwise, you’ll be getting booking for 4 in the morning.
In your Booking Calendar, select “Booking Page” from the left hand menu, then “Region and Time Zone” from the “Manage your booking page” – it’s the last option. Ensure that you have Eastern Time selected.
In addition to the steps indicated above in Outlook, also follow these steps in MS Bookings.
Choose “Staff” from the left-hand menu, then edit your profile. In the pop-up window, under availability, ensure that the “Events on Office calendar affect availability” option is checked.
In the LibCal Widget Code field, paste the following code, changing the a href link text to the appropriate link from your own calendar.
You can enable the ability for users to send you a direct message in Teams. This is not mandated, and is entirely your choice.
In the LibAnswers Widget Code field, paste the following code, changing the a href link text to the appropriate link from your own calendar.
