With a booking page in Virtual Appointments, you get a public web page that lets your customers book their own appointments based on your business’s availability, saving you time and creating a great customer experience.

Turn on On-demand scheduling
Important: On-demand scheduling requires a Teams Premium license. See Microsoft Teams Premium - Overview for administrators for more information.
