To see it online, select Open published page. Share this link with customers or add it to your website.

Turn on On-demand scheduling 

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

If you want to have the option for customers to book non-scheduled appointments, like a walk-in consultation, you can turn on the Allow requests for On-demand services toggle. You must create an appointment type using the On-demand option for this to work. See Create and edit appointment types for more information.  Screenshot of toggle to turn on on-demand booking in Virtual Appointments

After you turn this option on, customers will have the choice on your Booking page to Schedule an appointment or See a Staff member now.
