The whole project

Four phases, start to finish.

You don't need a project manager. Meeting Room 365 gives you the tools for the whole rollout, not just the app on the door. Provisioning scripts, the admin portal, MDM and analytics get you from an empty Microsoft 365 tenant to booked rooms. Grouped so you can plan it before you begin: IT owns the first two phases, and anyone can do the rest.

PHASE 01

Provision

Give every room and desk a mailbox in Microsoft 365.

  • Create resource mailboxes
  • Build Room Lists for Room Finder
IT admin ~15 min
PHASE 02

Connect

Link Meeting Room 365 to your calendars, your way.

  • Service user, direct, or RBAC
  • Pick what your security team prefers
IT admin ~5 min
PHASE 03

Deploy

Create displays, pair tablets, and put them on the wall.

  • Create displays in bulk or one-off
  • Pair, push with MDM & mount
Anyone ~2 min / display
PHASE 04

Operate

Make it yours, set the rules, and learn from the data.

  • Customize themes & features
  • Set policy & read analytics

Phase 1 · Provision

Give every space a mailbox.

Each room and desk needs a resource mailbox in Microsoft 365. Create them the way that suits you: click through the admin, or script the whole building in one go. Connecting a mailbox directly? Reset its password first, just like any other user on your tenant.

New resources not showing in Room Finder? Run our optional PowerShell Room Finder script to build the Room Lists Outlook needs.

See the Room Finder setup guide →

Familiar & visual

Microsoft 365 Admin Center

Add rooms one at a time through the Microsoft 365 admin you already know. Nothing to install.

In bulk

PowerShell quick-setup utility

Our free interactive script provisions rooms, workspaces and Room Lists in bulk, which suits a whole building at once.

Phase 2 · Connect

Connect your calendar, your way.

Most platforms give you one way in. We give you three, so you can match whatever your security team prefers. Not sure? Start with a service user; it's what we recommend for most teams.

Best for a first look

Direct connection

Connect a room with its own credentials, the shortest path to a live display.

If your tenant enforces MFA, that account still has to pass it, so someone keeps an authenticator. Service user or RBAC avoids the juggling.
Best at scale

Client Credential (RBAC)

Register an app in Microsoft Identity and grant scoped access with PowerShell. Advanced, and the most practical way to add hundreds of resources.

Ideal for large, automated deployments.

Phase 3 · Deploy

From admin to wall.

Create the displays in your dashboard, then pair each tablet with a display key from the portal, or a sign-in on the device itself if you'd rather your calendar data never left it. Rolling out a whole office? MDM turns it into a single push.

  1. 1

    Create your displays

    Add displays in the Meeting Room 365 admin, one at a time or in bulk for a whole floor.

  2. 2

    Pair each tablet

    Type the display key from your admin portal — or sign in with Microsoft on the tablet itself. Either way it’s one screen.

  3. 3

    Push with MDM Optional

    Managing a fleet? Push one AppConfig key to every tablet and assign displays from the portal, without touching each device.

  4. 4

    Mount your hardware

    Stick the tablets by the door. Any iOS, Android, Fire or Windows device works.

Phase 4 · Operate

Make every door yours.

Themes and deeper customization: colors, logos, languages, even custom CSS, JS and video backgrounds. Tune booking rules, check-in, and exactly what each display shows.

  • Dozens of themes & full Theme Builder
  • Custom CSS, JS & video backgrounds
  • Booking rules, check-in & 16 languages
Go live & improve

Open the doors, then get smarter.

Two last moves: tell people how to book, and let the data tell you what to do next.

Share your booking policy

Let your team know how rooms work now: tap to book at the door, check in to keep it, auto-release no-shows. A short note is usually all it takes.

Tap any door to book the room
Check in when it starts to keep it
No-shows release automatically

Decide with analytics

See which rooms run hot and which sit empty, then right-size your spaces by adding a board where demand spikes and repurposing what nobody books.
