Represents basic location attributes such as name, physical address, and geographic coordinates. This resource is the base type for richer location types such as room, workspace, and roomList.

Using the places API

Exchange Online administrators can organize meeting rooms and workspaces in a tenant into room lists. Using the places API, you can use the list operation to get all the rooms, workspaces, or room lists in the tenant, or get the rooms and workspaces in a specific room list.

Places like room, workspace, and roomList contain the basic ID, display name, and email address. In addition, they contain navigational information like physical address and geographical coordinates, and in the case of rooms, other relevant information such as AV capabilities, floor number, and capacity.

The findRooms and findRoomLists functions support similar lookups for rooms and room lists in a tenant. The following table compares the places API and these functions.

Note: The findRooms and findRoomLists functions are deprecated.
