Manage your appointment queue
With Teams Premium and the Virtual Appointments app, the Queue tab gives you the ability to view the status and monitor all scheduled and on-demand virtual appointments. Quickly create or view an appointment and send staff and attendees email reminders and SMS text notifications.
: The Queue tab requires a Teams Premium license. See Microsoft Teams Premium - Overview for administrators for more information.
The Queue tab is separated into two sections: On-demand and Scheduled.
On-Demand appointments are appointments scheduled by a customer that do not have a scheduled time, such as a walk-in. To have this available, you must create an on-demand appointment type and turn the Allow requests for On-demand services toggle on for your Booking page.
After this is enabled, your customers can book an on-demand appointment through your booking page.
: See Create and edit appointment types to learn how to create an on-demand appointment type and see Customize and publish a booking page for customers to schedule appointments to turn on on-demand scheduling.
