How to Create a Microsoft Bookings page to manage appointments

Microsoft Bookings is an online and mobile app for small businesses who provide services to customers on an appointment basis. Examples of businesses include hair salons, dental offices, and auto shops, however, faculty can also use Bookings to manage appointments with students. We have access to Bookings from our Microsoft 365 accounts. View this video for a demonstration on getting started with Bookings (1:52) or follow the steps below.
