Teams Rooms Standard license and Exchange Online Mailbox and Calendar
We've been exploring using Teams rooms standard licensing instead of E3 licensing, but the Teams room standard licensing doesn't seem to create an actual mailbox, nor a calendar? (Unless we have something setup wrong.)
This is fairly problematic as calendars are a must for end users to look at when trying to schedule a meeting, and access to that calendar is important for admins in case meetings need to be removed for various reasons.
Is this expected?
- pvanberloSteel ContributorYou’ll need a device account for each Teams Room device. This is needed for the integration with eg. Exchange Online. You’ll then need to configure a room mailbox.
More info at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/rooms/rooms-configure-accounts- Lynn TowleIron ContributorYes, we did that. The licensing is what gives the account a mailbox, and the standard room license doesn't seem to do that.
- pvanberloSteel ContributorThat’s correct. A room mailbox does not require a license. And should be created manually as part of the setup. I don’t expect a Teams Room Standard license assignment to do this for you.
