Microsoft Places
A tour of the latest Places Desk Booking UX – 2026
In this video, we walk through the current desk booking experience in Microsoft Places, showing how desk reservations work across Outlook and Microsoft Teams, what users can expect to see (and not see), and why some behaviours are by design.
Along the way, we directly address two questions that come up again and again when organisations roll out desk booking with Places:
- Why can’t I see desks on the Places map?
- Why can’t I see desk bookings in my Outlook calendar?
What’s in this demo:
- 00:09 – Desk booking from Outlook Calendar
- 01:00 – The Desk Finder map explained
- 02:44 – Introducing the new Reservations filter
- 03:15 – Desk bookings via the Places card
