Microsoft PlacesAI-powered coordination for hybrid workplaces
Flexible work strategies fail when teams can’t coordinate effectively across remote and in-office contexts. Microsoft Places addresses this by bringing AI-driven scheduling, space optimisation, and occupancy insights into the everyday tools your organisation already uses.

Places coordination. Intelligent scheduling for hybrid teams
When you can’t see who’s in the office or when meetings are scheduled, coordination breaks down. Places simplifies this by integrating directly into Outlook and Teams. Employees set expectations about when they work in-person, schedule face-to-face meetings with RSVP options, and use Copilot recommendations to identify the best days to collaborate on-site. Teams get visibility into collaboration patterns without micromanagement.
Space optimisation. Data-driven workplace management
Physical space is expensive and often underutilised. Places captures actual usage against planned occupancy, revealing which desks and rooms are booked but empty. IT administrators use this intelligence to automate room release policies, eliminate waste, and make strategic investment decisions about workplace design. Occupancy data feeds from Teams Rooms and workplace devices for a complete picture.
Workplace insights. AI-powered recommendations for leadership
Space data alone doesn’t change anything without actionable interpretation. Places uses Copilot to surface patterns: peak collaboration times, underused facilities, emerging work preferences within teams. Leadership teams use these insights to refine hybrid policies, design better spaces, and validate investment in facilities against actual use patterns.
