Using Seatings

With Seatings, you can always find your co-workers. Seatings shows your co-workers' location on floorplans, so that it is easy for you to find them and contact them.

Search

Search for any of your co-workers with the search box at the top right. Seatings searches for first name, last name and e-mail address. Type at least two letters in the box to start a search. Select a user in the search result to show the user's location as a colored circle on a floorplan.

User presence

The color of the circles shown on the floorplans reflect the Microsoft Teams status of your co-workers:

The colors for Teams presence.

Seatings updates the presence every 30 seconds.
