Use Microsoft Bookings widget in your video

Add Microsoft Bookings to your video

Section titled “Add Microsoft Bookings to your video”

Use a Microsoft Bookings link to embed a booking calendar in your Vaam video.

  1. Confirm that your Microsoft 365 subscription includes Microsoft Bookings. You need access to Microsoft Bookings to get Microsoft Bookings links. This is different from the BookWithMe feature.

  2. Get your Microsoft Bookings link. It should follow this format: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/[YourCalendarName]@[yourdomain]/bookings/

  3. Add the widget to your video.

    • Go to the share page for your video.
    • Below the video player, click the Add widget button on the right.
    • Click New widget from the list that appears.
    • Select Microsoft Bookings from the calendar service dropdown.
    • Paste your Microsoft Bookings link in the calendar link field.
    • Click Add.
    • The button label updates to “Microsoft Bookings” when the widget is added.

  4. Test the integration.

    • Click “Preview” in Vaam to see how recipients will view your video.
    • Verify that the calendar widget displays and works.

Troubleshoot Microsoft Bookings

The calendar does not show in the widget

Section titled “The calendar does not show in the widget”

Microsoft provides two types of booking calendar solutions. Only Microsoft Bookings links can be embedded in Vaam.

BookWithMe links cannot be used:

  • Format: https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/[user-id]@[domain]?anonymous&ep=plink
  • These links cannot be embedded in iframes or widgets.
  • Microsoft does not allow BookWithMe links to display on other websites.

Microsoft Bookings links can be embedded:

  • Format: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/[calendar-name]@[domain]/bookings/
  • These links support iframe embedding and display correctly in Vaam widgets.

The calendar appears blank

Section titled “The calendar appears blank”

Verify that the Bookings link is publicly accessible and does not require authentication.

Use a button instead of a widget

Section titled “Use a button instead of a widget”

If you only have access to BookWithMe links and cannot get a Microsoft Bookings link, add the BookWithMe link as a button in your Vaam video.

  • Recipients go to Microsoft’s booking page when they click the button.
  • This is less seamless than an embedded widget but still functional.
