Microsoft Teams: Enhanced bookable desk experience with Teams panel based desk devices [MC1330887]

Message ID: MC1330887

[What and Why]

We are introducing an enhanced bookable desk experience for Microsoft Teams panel based desk devices, such as Logi Dock Flex and the upcoming Yealink Linkhub. This update enables users to view at-a-glance desk availability and for visitors to reserve desks directly from the device, improving flexibility and productivity in hybrid work environments. Each device requires a Teams Shared Space license.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 561031.

[Rollout Schedule]

General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in early July 2026 and is expected to complete by mid-July 2026.
