Release Notes - Teem Plug-in - October 2021
Teem Plug-in Updates and Changes to Outlook Install Method
Released October 2021
The Teem Plug-in for Outlook and Google Calendar Chrome Extension has received exciting updates to design and functionality, making the end-user experience more consistent across Teem’s booking ecosystem.
With this release, we also no longer support the ClickOnce and Windows Installer methods for installing the Outlook Plug-in. We recommend using the Organization Install method for deploying the Outlook Plug-in to your users. Read below for more detailed information and recommended actions.
New Updates for Outlook and Chrome Extension
Updates included in this release:
- Maps in Plug-in now match the look and feel of Finder.
- Labels and rotation issues resolved.
- Space availability status on Map with respective date and time filter.
- Desk spaces now have labels (may need to zoom in to view due to the smaller footprint).
- Removed red status color for accessibility and standardized colors across platforms.
No Longer Supporting ClickOnce or Windows Installer for Outlook Plug-In
As of October 27, 2021, we are no longer supporting the ClickOnce or Windows Installer (EXE) methods for deploying the Teem Outlook Plug-In. This means new features, including those mentioned above, will not be available to users that installed Teem Plug-In using those methods. Plug-Ins installed with these two methods will continue to function as expected, and end users can continue using it to book desks or rooms, pre-register guests, and add Meeting Services to reservations. For better support and functionality, we recommend organizations utilize the Organization Install method to receive the latest Outlook Plug-In updates automatically.
Microsoft now allows Organizations to install add-ins for users selectively. This means your admin can choose which teams and users gain access to the Teem Plug-in when installed. For more information about how to install, check out our support documentation or Microsoft’s steps. (links)
