Can a Microsoft Bookings Page URL be changed?


Introduction

This article describes Microsoft Bookings URL limitations.

Instructions

No, a Microsoft Bookings page URL cannot be changed.

Microsoft Bookings generates the booking page URL based on the underlying Bookings mailbox/calendar. The booking page can be customized and republished, but Microsoft's customization options do not include simply typing in a new custom URL.

In practice:

- Personal Bookings pages generally use a URL tied to the user's account and cannot be arbitrarily renamed.
- Shared Bookings pages derive their URL from the Bookings mailbox/calendar. Renaming the Bookings calendar or recreating the Bookings page with a different name can result in a different booking URL. Discussions in Microsoft documentation and forums indicate that changing the underlying mailbox/address is the mechanism that affects the URL rather than editing the URL directly.

For a Virginia Tech support scenario, the most reliable approach when a department wants a different booking URL is often:

1. Create a new Bookings calendar/business with the desired name.
2. Reconfigure services and staff.
3. Distribute the new booking link.
