Summary:
Starting mid-August 2025, Microsoft Teams will notify users with multiple desk reservations to release previous ones and introduce a first run experience explaining these notifications. This applies to bookable desks and desk pools, requires no admin action, and is available to all users, with cancellation features for Teams Premium users.
Details:
Updated August 12, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
Prior to this rollout, if a user plugged into a different desk than their existing desk reservation, they would be automatically reserved at the desk, provided there was capacity. This could lead to them having multiple desk reservations. With this roll out, when using bookable desks, users will be notified that they have multiple reservations and be asked to release the previous ones. In addition, we will also be releasing a first run experience to provide the user with more information on why they are receiving notifications to provide further clarity and information.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC) for first run experience: We will begin rolling out mid-August 2025 (previously early August) and expect to complete early September 2025 (previously late August).
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC) for the notification when user has multiple reservations: We will begin rolling out late August 2025 and expect to complete mid-September 2025.
