The error indicates that the Bookings web app inside Outlook/Teams is failing to start because it receives an HTTP 401 (unauthorized) response while loading its startup data, and then fails when trying to parse the (missing) JSON response.
Key parts of the log:
-
BootResult: failandesrc: StartupData– the failure happens while loading initial configuration/startup data for Bookings. -
err: Error: 401andst: 401– the server is returning HTTP 401 Unauthorized. -
Unhandled Rejection: SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'json' on 'Response': Unexpected end of JSON input– the client code expects a valid JSON body but gets an empty/invalid response because of the 401, so JSON parsing fails.
In practice this usually means:
- The current sign-in/token for Bookings is not valid or not accepted (authorization issue), or
- There is a transient backend/service problem returning 401 instead of the expected startup payload.
Because the context only documents a specific, different Outlook/Teams integration issue (the “We can't open the Teams App right now. Please try again later” error) and a generic transient error pattern for Bookings, the only supported guidance is:
- Treat this as a transient or sign-in/authorization issue.
- Fully close Teams and Outlook, then sign in again and retry Bookings.
- If the problem persists, contact the Microsoft 365 admin or Microsoft support and provide:
- The error details (especially
err: Error: 401,esrc: StartupData,reqid, andcvvalues).
- The error details (especially
If other users in the same tenant can open Bookings successfully, this further points to a user-specific auth/tenant condition; if all users are affected, it is more likely a service-side issue that needs to be checked via the Microsoft 365 Service Health dashboard or support.
