You can now configure and manage each office directly from the Lobby area - giving you options and flexibility in how your virtual office is setup.
Whether you need to update a name, adjust access, or align the space with your brand, everything is now easily accessible.
To access the Office Setting’s go to the Lobby area and click the menu icon in the top-right corner, and then select Edit.
Each listed office now includes a gear icon for quick access to its settings. If the gear icon is white, you can click it to open the Office Settings window. If it is grey, you will need to contact the office administrator for access.
Inside the Office Settings window, you will find several configuration options. Below are the most important:
Rename office
Update the office name in the General pane. This also updates the name of the connected Microsoft Teams group. The name must be unique within your Microsoft Teams account.Manage members
Add or remove people who have access to the office from the Members pane. Click the plus button and search for people within your Microsoft Teams account.Customize office logo
Upload your company or team logo in the Theme pane. The logo will be displayed inside the office, replacing the default BeZoned logo.Archive office
Offices are not deleted but archived from the Archive pane and can be restored if needed. This action also archives the connected Microsoft Teams group.

You can now automatically update your Status when moving to a table or lounge in BeZoned.
This new feature helps you stay visible and aligned with your team - without needing to manually adjust your status every time you change location.
How it works
Right-click on a table.
Select Default status from the table menu.
Choose the status you want to apply automatically when someone moves to that table.
Once set, you can hover over the table to see whether a default status has been assigned.
You can still change your Status manually while sitting at a table, just as before. And your Status will also continue to sync automatically with Microsoft Teams and Outlook - for example, if you are in a calendar meeting or marked as away.

New
With the new Avatar Card in BeZoned, you can now easily be aware of your teammate’s schedule and location for the day with a single click on their avatar.
You’ll instantly see:
Their local time and time zone
Where they’re working from
Status messages (for example, if they’re away)
And if you want to connect - just click Chat, Call, Email, or Phone – what makes most sense to you and the moment.
No more jumping between Teams or Outlook windows. Just one simple, seamless view.
Try it now!

New
The BeZoned meeting panel is now available in regular Teams meetings - even if the meeting is not started through BeZoned (e.g., via a Room meeting).
This means that during a Microsoft Teams meeting, you can connect directly to any table or room in a BeZoned office that you normally only have access to through BeZoned.
Adding the BeZoned panel app is private and only applies to you and the specific meeting. Others cannot see it and do not have access to the content.
How to Add the BeZoned Panel
In your Teams meeting, click the Add apps button in the top meeting panel.
Search for BeZoned and select the BeZoned icon.
A window will open, allowing you to choose the office and the specific table or room you want to connect to.
Pick the office and table/room and click Save. Now you should now see the BeZoned panel to the right side.
If you would like to change the office and table/room, then click the […] button and settings in the BeZoned Pannel upper right-hand side.
