UConn faculty and staff can create a Personal Bookings page using their outlook email accounts.  Use your Bookings With Me page to set public or private meeting times so that others can view your availability and book meetings with you according to your schedule.

## Create your booking page

1. Navigate to [https://book.ms](https://book.ms) and log in with your UConn email if prompted.
2. Click **Create meeting type** to get started.
3. Add the details to customize your meeting type. These details will be visible to others. If you intend for the meeting to be conducted online, make sure that the **Teams meeting** option is selected. You can create multiple meeting types, so only worry about creating one for now.

- Emoji: Visual identifier for the meeting type on your booking homepage
- Title: Primary identifier for your meeting type
- Category: Optional sorting to visually distinguish meeting types. Useful if you have several meeting types and are frequently booked. Does not sync with Outlook calendar view.
- Description: Explanation of meeting type
- Location: If in-person, indicate where the meeting is held. If remote, enable the Teams meeting option for a link to be sent to you and the client.
- Public/private: If set to **Public**, this meeting type will be published on your booking page and anyone with access to your booking page can use it. If set to **Private**, only people with the direct link to the specific meeting type can book it.
- Schedule customization: Determine general availability based off your Outlook working hours or custom hours. This will not override your preexisting meetings in Outlook.

4. If desired, you can configure advanced meeting options such as lead times, buffers between other meetings, and email reminders sent to attendees.
5. Once complete, click **Save**.
6. Your new meeting type will appear on the Bookings homepage. If you are complete, click **Publish booking page**. If you want to create another meeting type, you can also do so.

## Share your Personal Bookings page

Once your page is published, you can share its link with your students, coworkers, clients, etc. Any public meeting types that you have will appear here. 

1. Click the **Share** button on your Bookings homepage, then **Copy link**.
2. The link is likely long with many characters. You may consider shortening it at [s.uconn.edu](http://s.uconn.edu).

## Share a private meeting link

Private meetings are only accessible through a link, so only those that you share the meeting URL with can schedule a meeting with you during your private availability.

1. From your Bookings page, click on the ellipses icon in the upper right corner of the private meeting’s panel, then choose to copy the link.
  1. Copy: The link can be used for multiple bookings
  2. Copy single-use link: The link can be used to create one booking, and will then expire

## Turn off your Bookings page

Whenever necessary, you can temporarily deactivate your bookings page so that nobody is able to schedule any meetings with you.

1. On the Bookings homepage, click the ellipses icon, then **Turn off your bookings page**.
2. The page will now be disabled. To publish it again, select **Publish booking page**.
