Outlook and Microsoft 365 Scheduling, with Teams Links

Does SavvyCal work with Outlook and Microsoft 365?

Yes. Connect your Microsoft 365 account, and SavvyCal checks your Outlook calendars for conflicts and adds each booking to the calendar you pick for that link. People who book with you don’t need a Microsoft account or a SavvyCal account.

Use Google, iCloud, or Fastmail too? Connect as many calendars as you like, on Basic and Premium, and SavvyCal checks every one you turn on before it offers a time. A personal appointment on iCloud blocks your work link too.

SavvyCal connects to Microsoft 365 through Microsoft’s cloud. On-premises Exchange servers and Exchange hosted by other providers aren’t supported. If your organization only lets admins approve new apps, an admin needs to approve SavvyCal once before you can connect.

Where is the Microsoft Teams integration?

There’s no separate Teams app to connect. Teams links come from your Microsoft 365 calendar: when a link creates events on a Microsoft work or school calendar, you can choose Microsoft Teams as the location, and Microsoft adds a unique Teams meeting to each booking’s invite.

Teams isn’t available when a link creates events on a Google, iCloud, or Fastmail calendar, or on a Microsoft account that doesn’t support Teams meetings for business. In those cases you can use Zoom, or paste a standing Teams meeting link as a custom URL. In the same way, Google Meet needs events created on a Google calendar.

1
Connect your Microsoft 365 work or school account. Sign in with the Microsoft account you use for Outlook.
2
Set “Create events on”. Pick a calendar from that account for the link’s bookings.
3
Choose Microsoft Teams. Choose Microsoft Teams under Location/Conferencing, and Microsoft adds a Teams meeting to each booking.

How does SavvyCal compare with Microsoft Bookings?

Microsoft Bookings comes with many Microsoft 365 plans and works inside Outlook and Teams. SavvyCal is a separate subscription that checks calendars outside Microsoft too, and adds controls over when people can book. Here’s how they compare as of October 2026.

SavvyCal and Microsoft Bookings (October 2026)

Feature	SavvyCal	Microsoft Bookings
Cost	Basic $10 per user per month billed annually ($120 per year), or $12 monthly. Free to sign up; links need a paid plan	Included in many Microsoft 365 and Office 365 plans, including Business Basic, Standard, and Premium, and E1, E3, and E5
Calendars checked for conflicts	Every calendar you connect, unlimited: Microsoft 365, Google, iCloud, Fastmail	The staff member’s calendar in Microsoft 365. Staff outside your Microsoft 365 organization can’t share free/busy with Bookings
Teams links	Yes, when bookings are created on a Microsoft 365 work or school calendar	Yes
Personal booking page	Yes, with one-on-one, collective, round robin, and group links	Yes (“Bookings with me”), for one-on-one meetings
Team booking pages	Round robin and collective links on Basic	Shared booking pages, up to 100 staff
People booking need an account	No	No, unless an admin requires a Microsoft 365 account from your organization
SMS notifications	No	Yes, with a Teams Premium add-on, in some countries

Microsoft Bookings details are from Microsoft’s documentation as of October 2026.

What does SavvyCal add?

Calendars outside Microsoft: Google, iCloud, and Fastmail calendars count as busy too, alongside Microsoft 365.
Meeting limits: Cap meetings per day, week, or month on each link.
Preferred times: Show the times you’d rather meet first.
Calendar overlay: People booking can lay their own calendar over your availability.

When is Microsoft Bookings the better fit?

If everyone you schedule for is on Microsoft 365, you only need your Outlook calendar checked, and you’d rather not pay for another tool, Microsoft Bookings is already in many Microsoft 365 plans. Bookings can also send SMS notifications with a Teams Premium add-on, which SavvyCal doesn’t offer.

Built for both sides of the invite

For you

Every calendar counts. Check Google, Outlook, iCloud, and Fastmail calendars for conflicts, all at once.
Room to breathe. Buffers and frequency limits keep meetings from piling up back to back.
Your best times first. Preferred slots steer people toward the times you’d rather take, without hiding the rest.
Time blocks. Put a “Demos” event on your calendar, and your demo link only offers times inside it.

For your guests

The whole week. A full week view shows every option at once, instead of a day-then-time hunt.
Their calendar, too. Guests can lay their own calendar over yours and spot a time that works for both.
No time zone math. Times show up in each guest’s own time zone.
Nothing to sign up for. Guests book with a name and email. No account, no app to install.

Hosts love it. Their guests do too.

SavvyCal makes me feel better about finding time to meet with clients, partners, and colleagues. It goes beyond similar tools by removing the awkwardness of imposing your schedule upon others.

Officially cancelled my Calendly and upgraded my SavvyCal. Allowing my invitees to overlay their own calendar to pick a good time is game changing!

I use SavvyCal so my customers can easily compare my availability to their own. Making their lives a little easier is a treat I’m happy to pay for.

One-on-one links are just the start. SavvyCal handles the tricky meetings, too.

Questions, answered

Something we didn’t cover? Drop us a line.

Do the people booking need a Microsoft or SavvyCal account?

No. They pick a time and enter their name and email. Connecting their own calendar to see conflicts is optional.

Does SavvyCal integrate with Microsoft Teams?

Yes, through your Microsoft 365 calendar. Set a link to create events on a Microsoft work or school calendar, then choose Microsoft Teams as the location. Each booking gets its own Teams meeting.

Why isn’t Teams listed under Integrations in the SavvyCal app?

Because there’s nothing separate to connect. Teams comes with your Microsoft 365 calendar connection, and you choose it on each link under Location/Conferencing.

Can I use Google Meet with an Outlook calendar?

Not on the same link. Google Meet links need the booking created on a Google calendar. If your main calendar is Outlook, you can connect a Google calendar and create that link’s events there, or use Zoom.

Can people choose between Teams and Zoom when they book?

Yes, on one-on-one and collective links: add both, and the person booking picks one. Round robin and group links have one location.

Does SavvyCal work with on-premises Exchange?

No. SavvyCal connects to Microsoft 365 calendars only. On-premises Exchange servers and Exchange hosted by other providers aren’t supported.

My company requires admin approval to connect apps. What do I do?

Ask your Microsoft 365 admin to approve SavvyCal once. After that, everyone in your organization can connect their calendar. Email support@savvycal.com if your admin needs details.

How many calendars can I connect, and can each link check different ones?

As many as you like, on Basic and Premium, from Microsoft 365, Google, iCloud, and Fastmail. The calendars you check for conflicts apply to all your links; you can’t pick a different set per link. SavvyCal reads busy times from your calendars but doesn’t copy them between calendars.

How much does SavvyCal cost?

Basic is $10 per user per month billed annually ($120 per year), or $12 monthly, and includes Microsoft 365 calendars and Teams links. You can sign up and set up your links for free; letting people book needs a paid plan. Every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
