Create and configure resource accounts

for rooms and shared Teams devices

Article • 05/04/2023

This article provides steps to create resource accounts for shared spaces and devices,
and it includes steps to configure resource accounts for Microsoft Teams Rooms on
Windows, Teams Rooms on Android, Teams Rooms on Surface Hub, and hot-desking on
Teams displays.

Microsoft 365 resource accounts are mailbox and Teams accounts that are dedicated to
specific resources, such as a room or projector. These resource accounts can
automatically respond to meeting invites using rules you define when they're created.
For example, if you have a common resource such as a conference room, you can set up
a resource account for that conference room that will automatically accept or decline
meeting invites depending on its calendar availability.

Every resource account is unique to a single Microsoft Teams Rooms installation or
Teams display hot-desking implementation.

Important

Microsoft 365 resource accounts aren't the same as Teams resource accounts.
Teams resource accounts can be used with call queues and auto attendants to
accept phone calls from external phone numbers. Microsoft 365 resource accounts
are tied to an Exchange Online mailbox and enable booking of shared resources,
such as rooms, projectors, and so on.

both Teams Rooms and associated Teams panels.
