summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams has introduced a feature using Teams panels and occupancy sensors that display room availability with a traffic light system, showing red for occupied and green for available, to prevent disruptions and manage room bookings efficiently.
Direct effects for Operations**
Inaccurate Room Availability
If Teams panels are implemented without proper configuration, users may encounter situations where rooms appear available when they are actually occupied, leading to scheduling conflicts and wasted time.
