Find a conference room
When scheduling a meeting with Outlook 2016 for Mac, particularly a meeting where attendees will attend in person, you'll need to include a meeting room in the invitation. If you know the name of the meeting room, you can enter that name directly in the Location field. If you don't know the name, or if you're scheduling a meeting in a location that is unfamiliar, you can use Room Finder.
Note: Don't see Room Finder? Your admin needs to enable this feature on the Exchange server before the button will show up on your ribbon. Tell your admin to see Managing Resource Mailboxes and Scheduling for more information.
Open Room Finder
The Room Finder button is on the ribbon in the meeting invitation. (Create a meeting invitation)
A tour of Room Finder
Room Finder opens in the scheduling page of your meeting invitation.
-
Select Recent Rooms in Choose a room list to see any recent rooms you've scheduled.
-
Select one of your recent rooms and it will be added to the Rooms list on the left side of the page. Its free/busy information will be shown in the scheduling grid.
-
Selecting the arrows in Choose a room list shows buildings and/or locations in your company. When you pick a room list, you'll see a list of all the conference rooms in that building or location that are available during the specified meeting time.
-
Once you've found an available room, check the box next to its name to include it in your invitation.
Tip: You can hide the Room Finder pane by clicking the Room Finder button again or by clicking the x at the top right of the Room Finder pane.
