How to Set Up an Appointment Scheduler in Outlook

Are you looking for a convenient way to schedule meetings with others? Look no further than the appointment scheduler in Outlook. With this feature, you can easily share your availability and let others book appointments at a time that suits you.

To get started, select the Share button on your available page-sharing options. This will put a link to your public Booking page into the clipboard for easy sharing. You can also change your banner image by clicking on the icon next to the Share button and selecting Edit banner image.

Once you have set up your page, you can personalize it and let others know that it's available for them to schedule meetings with you. Upon returning to the dashboard, you will see a status bar indicating the progress of your Bookings setup. Wait until the progress bar is fully colored and the Share button is enabled before proceeding.

In this setup process, you will be asked to specify the maximum lead time, which is the number of days before the meeting time that bookings must be made. You can also set a minimum lead time, which is the number of days in advance of the meeting time that bookings must be made.

Additionally, you can set limits on the start time of meetings and specify the amount of post-meeting time that remains unbooked for you. You can use regular hours per your Outlook or specify custom availability.

You will also have the option to make your meetings public (anyone with the page link can see) or private (access only via meeting link). You can choose a location, either physical or online, and add categories to your meetings using the same categories as in Outlook.

Once you have completed the setup process, you will be able to create simple public meetings. Simply click on the plus sign within the Public meeting pane to create a new meeting type. You can create meeting types for various purposes and name them accordingly.

Throughout this process, a colored bar will indicate your progress towards completion. Upon completing the setup, you will see that the 'Get started.' pane has changed to 'Edit bookings page' in your Calendar on Outlook for web. You can also get started by clicking on the Create bookings page menu item in your Calendar on Outlook for web.

Overall, setting up an appointment scheduler in Outlook is a quick and easy process that allows you to share your availability with others and schedule meetings with ease.
