Microsoft Teams panels are the colorful touchscreen devices you see mounted outside meeting rooms. From afar they provide at-a-glance room availability info, and up close you'll find details about the current meeting and a list of upcoming meetings.

Use Teams panels to:

  • View meeting details and upcoming reservations

  • Reserve an available meeting room

  • Release a room for others to use

  • Extend your room reservation

Find your meeting

If you’re on your way to a scheduled meeting, the Teams panel will let you know if you’re in the right place. The current meeting’s name, time, and organizer appear on the right side of the screen.

If you're early, just check the scrollable list to see the upcoming meetings.

Find a free room

If you’re looking for a spot to have an ad hoc meeting, the panel will tell you if the room is available now. A green bar means the room is free.
