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 - You will be asked to sign in when you first use the add-in.
  • Change your Location - Teem lets you set your default location; when you visit another location, it can be easily changed.
  • Book a Room - Find and book the perfect room for meetings by filtering meeting spaces by availability, location, capacity, and amenities.

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