How to integrate MS Places with Outlook room finder

Question

I am working on POV for creating a room/workspace booking using Outlook and Exchange. I am looking for an option to display the location map in the room finder. Previously MS Floo plans were used for this purpose. But it seems MS Floor plans will no longer be available for this purpose (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/manage-floorplans). This article recommends using MS Places. I need guidelines or articles on using MS Places instead of floor plans.

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous ，

Based on my research, seems like Microsoft Places has not yet released, so I am afraid there are no guidelines or articles available at this time. Below are some relevant discussions for reference:

• Is Microsoft Places available for beta testing
• Status of Microsoft Places
• Where is the "Microsoft Places" app?

With the above being said, if what you are after is just to display the geolocation of a meeting room, you can check the following articles and try using the Set-Place cmdlet to update the location metadata for a room mailbox:

• Populating Location Data for the Outlook Places Service
