Using the Teem Microsoft Office365 Add-in to Book a Desk

The Teem Office 365 Add-in for the Microsoft Outlook desktop version and the Microsoft Office web version work in the same way. 

Use the Teem Outlook Add-in to help find a room or desk straight from your Microsoft Outlook in the web browser.  This means you can remain in Outlook and seamlessly create events without going to another app.

  • Sign in to Teem - When you first use the add-in, you will be asked to sign in.
  • Change your Location - Teem lets you set your default location; when you visit another location, it can be easily changed.
  • Book a Desk - Find and book a desk to work from.

When your IT Administrator has pushed out the add-in, it will exist in the meeting event's toolbar. If you do not see the Teem icon, then contact your IT Support team.
