What is a Room List

Scenario:
I often get calls from some of my customers asking “why I’m not able to book a meeting room with my Teams client”.
The reason is simple for a room to show up in the Microsoft Teams desktop client, it has to be part of a “RoomList” distribution group. Below you will see a screenshot that displays 3 room location lists in the Teams client.

Resolution:
Follow the steps below if you want your meeting rooms to be displayed in your Teams client.
To be able to create your room lists, you’ll need to go through the PowerShell tool, as this procedure isn’t yet available via the Exchange Online administrative center.
You will therefore need to install the ExchangePowerShell module available –” HERE.

Once the ExchangePowerShell module is installed on your computer, you will need to run the command below to be able to connect to Exchange Online:

Script.ps1
Connect-ExchangeOnline

Press enter and the PowerShell tool will prompt you to authenticate with your Office365 account with Exchange Organization Management or Global Admin permissions.

Once connected to Exchange Online, check that your organization has not already created this type of distribution group. Run the following command:

Script.ps1
Get-DistributionGroup -RecipientTypeDetails RoomList

If you ever find an existing group and want to include your room, simply add it as a member of that distribution group by running the following command:

Script.ps1
Add-DistributionGroupMember <RoomListName> -Member <RoomMailbox>

If no RoomList distribution group ever exists, you have the choice to convert an existing distribution group that is not a RoomList or to create a new one.

To convert an existing group, perform the following command:

Script.ps1
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity <RoomListName> -RoomList

To create a new RoomList distribution group, run the following command:

Script.ps1
New-DistributionGroup -Name <RoomListName> -RoomList
