Microsoft Teams Room Panels offer a smart solution for room management. These convenient panels simplify managing meeting rooms and provide a single overview for your space scheduling. Learn how Room Panels provide an automated, real-time view of available rooms and make booking easier.

What Are Microsoft Teams Room Panels?

Microsoft Teams Room Panels are digital displays installed outside meeting rooms to streamline room management in a physical environment. They instantly show which rooms are available, allow on-the-spot reservations, and automatically sync with Microsoft Teams and Outlook.

The Benefits of Microsoft Teams Room Panels

Microsoft Teams Room Panels optimize room management in several ways:

  • Automated Room Management See instantly which rooms are available and book easily via the Room Panel or your Outlook calendar.
  • Avoid Double Bookings The Room Panels sync with calendars like Outlook, preventing booking conflicts.
  • Efficient Use of Space With better visibility and immediate booking options, rooms are used more effectively, saving costs and reducing vacancy.
  • Flexible Booking Options Offers options for duration, recurring meetings, and custom times to meet specific needs.
  • Real-Time Availability A Room Panel provides instant insight into room availability, allowing you to schedule appointments quickly and efficiently.

Licensing for Microsoft Teams Room Panels

Microsoft Teams Room Panels require either a Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro license or a Teams Shared Device license:

  • Teams Rooms Pro: For rooms equipped with a Teams Rooms system or Surface Hub.
  • Teams Shared Device: For meeting rooms without a Teams Rooms system.
