By default, when you create a new Meeting in Teams and you click on Location, you get a message saying “Sorry, we could not find any building”.
To enable the Location option and have actual resources from your Office 365 show up we need to do the following steps:
- Create a new resource in Office 365 (you can skip this step, if you already have resources created)
See article How to create resources in Office 365
2.Publish the Rooms in Teams
To add the meeting rooms to Microsoft Teams we need to create a distribution group using PowerShell.
- Open PowerShell as administrator
- Run the following commands to connect to Office 365:
| Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned $UserCredential = Get-Credential $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking |
You would need to enter your office 365 administrator credentials
- After you are connected, run the following command to create a distribution group.
| New-DistributionGroup -Name “Meeting Rooms List” -Roomlist |
Note: The -Roomlist switch is required for the distribution list to show in Teams
- Once the distribution list is created, we can add the resources:
| Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity “Meeting Rooms List” -Member “202 – Conference” |
Repeat the steps for each meeting room that would want to show in the List
After a few minutes, if you try to create a meeting you will see the Rooms listed under the location filed in Teams
Note: If the room is not Free, it will not be listed.
