If your company is using the Microsoft 365 package you can use OfficeRnD Hybrid from within your Microsoft Teams application either on a desktop or a mobile device. The OfficeRnD Hybrid app will allow your employees to:
- Find and book desks and meeting rooms on the go.
- See real-time availability of desks and spaces on the office map.
- Locate colleagues on the office map and book a desk next to them.
- Manage, edit and cancel bookings for you and your colleagues.
- Check in for bookings via the Teams chatbot for our App.
- Check your daily schedule.
Microsoft Teams can be downloaded from here.
Our recommendation: For a seamless experience, please activate SSO Authentication and SCIM provisioning with Microsoft Azure AD.

Enable Microsoft Teams to Sync User Profile Photos from your Microsoft 365

To enable that, simply click Configure on your integration and check the Sync User Photos box. Validate with Update.
The sync is executed once per day.
Permissions
The MS Teams integration requires the following permissions:
