New Outlook on Web - Meeting - No more room lists

Hello,

 

We are noticing Room Lists are no longer appearing in the new Outlook Web experience when scheduling a meeting and searching a meeting room.

 

We created meeting room lists based on location and building so users can select a meeting room list based on the building they are working in and all available rooms in that building would appear.

This also makes the meeting rooms easier to navigate and book, without showing meeting rooms in different countries.

 

This is how it looked a few weeks earlier:

  • Meeting room lists are browse-able

 

 

 

This is how it looks right now:

  • Meeting room lists no longer browse-able
  • Meeting room lists cannot be searched. Searching the exact room list by name fails to find any room list.
  • Only option is "All Rooms", which shows all meeting rooms from all countries and leaves the user with an huge list of available rooms they will probably never ever book, as they reside in a different country.

 

 

The Office Roadmap never listed this change.

Any assistance on this?

    Hello,

     

    I've just tested it again and now the room lists seem to be displaying all of a sudden. Very happy about this, but I hope this is the case for all users.

  • Tim Wolfers We're seeing old room lists but not newly created ones in the New Outlook UI. If we switch back to the old web interface all the lists are there.

  • Looks like a new feature that's on the roadmap currently: Featured ID: 50722

      Yes this is a known issue in hybrid mode. We are working hard to fix it. Should have an update this week.

    Different twist for us that we have to include the ROOM NAME as one of the attendees for the event to be put on the ROOM CALENDAR.  If we use the LOCATION field, the meeting is not put on the Room Calendar.  

  • Works fine here, I get the last used entry automatically and I get the search results as soon as I start typing in the box. Try a different user or different browser maybe? Julia Foran just in case.

      We are having the same experience with the new Portal interface.  Reverting back to the old interface corrects the issue.  We have tested  IE, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.  Same result on all.
