Sharing your Bookings with me page: links and signature

Your Bookings with me page (Personal Bookings) is shared as a link, and there is more than one kind. The page link lists your public meeting types; each meeting type has its own link; private types can also produce single-use links. Microsoft documents three ways to send the page (copy the link, share via email, add it to your Outlook signature) and no embed code. This chapter covers each link, its format and what it exposes to the person who opens it.

The links and what each one opens (as of October 2026)#

The last row causes real problems. A 2026 Q&A comment suggests putting the Bookings homepage link in your signature when the signature checkbox is greyed out. That link opens the visitor's own Bookings, or a sign-in screen, not your page. /bookwithme/me contains no identifier for you either, so it can't lead anyone to your page.

Link formats#

Microsoft doesn't document the format, so treat these as observations rather than rules. In the personal links we captured in September 2026, a meeting type link looked like this:

https://bookings.cloud.microsoft/bookwithme/user/{id}@{domain}/meetingtype/{code}?anonymous

• {id} is your mailbox's Exchange GUID with the dashes removed. It isn't your name or email address.
• {domain} was the owner's email domain. The page uses it to look up your organization.
• /meetingtype/{code} is present only on a single meeting type link. The page link stops after {id}@{domain}.
• ?anonymous was on every personal link we saw. Other parameters can follow; a 2022 example copied from Outlook ended in ?anonymous&ep=pcard. Microsoft documents none of them.

Older links start with https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/ instead. Both hosts appear in links people share today. We haven't verified whether every old link redirects to the new host, so re-copy the link from the Bookings home page when you update a signature or website.

Shared booking pages use a different path, /book/, followed by the page's mailbox address, for example outlook.office.com/book/Contoso@contoso.com/, with /s/{code} added for a single service. If a link contains /book/, it isn't a Bookings with me page and the rest of this chapter doesn't apply. What a bookwithme link is explains the difference from the booker's side.

The Microsoft Learn article "Custom domain support in Shared Bookings" doesn't change any of this. It sets the email domain used when new shared booking page mailboxes are created. It has no effect on personal page links and gives no page a vanity URL.

What a link exposes#

Sharing the page link is not the same as sharing your calendar, but it isn't nothing either.

• Your free time, within the type's hours. Anyone with the link can see which slots are open, from now up to the maximum lead time. In our captures the availability data carried only start, end and a status. No event titles, attendees or locations.
• Your organization's domain, which is part of the link.
• What you put in names and descriptions. Keep phone numbers and internal notes out of them.
• A way to book you at any time, from anywhere. There's no setting to limit booking to your organization or to cap bookings per day.

Private types hide an offer from your page, not from whoever holds the link. A single-use link is the only control Microsoft documents for a link going further than you meant. In a 2025 Q&A thread an owner reported that two clients still rescheduled bookings made through single-use links. Test the behaviour before relying on it.

Email signature#

Microsoft Learn lists Email signature settings as the third sharing option and says your page link then appears whenever you write an email in Outlook. Learn doesn't name the control. In Outlook on the web and new Outlook it is a checkbox in Settings → Accounts → Signatures, labelled Include a link to my bookings page in my signature, and it adds a "Book time to meet with me" line to new messages. Classic Outlook keeps its own signatures, so add the link there as an ordinary hyperlink. Adding the line, removing it, and the greyed-out checkbox are covered in Bookings with me in your email signature.

In a new email#

• Share via email. From the Bookings home page, this option opens a pop-up where you enter addresses and an optional message, and shares your page link with them.
• Paste it yourself. Copy the page or meeting type link and insert it with Insert → Link on selected text, such as "Pick a time". This is the only way to send a private or single-use link in your own words.
• The signature line. With the checkbox ticked, the "Book time to meet with me" line is added to each new message automatically.

As of October 2026 Microsoft documents no "insert booking link" button in the Outlook compose window.

Websites, Teams and print#

• A website. Link to the page with a button that opens a new tab. Microsoft provides no embed code for personal pages; embedding Bookings with me explains what breaks if you iframe it anyway.
• Teams chats and social profiles. Microsoft suggests pasting the copied link. Use the page link, not a private link, anywhere public.
• Posters and slides. Turn the link into a QR code (QR codes for Bookings), and test it on a phone that isn't signed in to Microsoft 365.

Links for a whole team#

There is no admin export of everyone's links. A 2025 community answer on Microsoft Q&A said there's no built-in way to collect a team's links without asking each person. Because the {id} in the link is the mailbox's Exchange GUID, an admin can in principle build each person's page link from Get-Mailbox output. We haven't verified this for people who have never opened Bookings, and Microsoft could change the format at any time, so test every generated link. If the goal is one page where people pick a colleague, a shared booking page does that natively (giving each staff member a link).

Before you send a link#

1. Open it in a private browser window, signed out, to see what a stranger sees: the guest screen, the meeting types and the times.
2. Check you copied the page link, not a private or used single-use link. Most "link goes nowhere" reports come down to the wrong link (link not working).
3. Warn bookers about the email code if your page asks for one (email verification).
