Understanding Desk Types in Microsoft Places

Did you know that every desk in Microsoft Places can be configured in one of four different modes?

In this video, I explain the four desk types available in Places and how they support different workplace and hybrid working scenarios:

  • Reservable desks – can be booked in advance or on arrival.
  • Drop-in desks – available on a first come, first served basis and cannot be reserved other than ‘on the day’.
  • Assigned desks – permanently allocated to a specific employee.
  • Unavailable desks – temporarily removed from booking (e.g., to allow for maintenance).

Whether you’re an IT administrator, workplace manager or Microsoft Places administrator, this video will help you understand how desk modes influence the employee booking experience and how they work ‘behind the scenes’.
