At Ignite 2020, Microsoft announced a new category of devices called Microsoft Teams Panels. Microsoft Teams Panels is a compact digital display that offers a space and time management solution. Using Teams Panels, employees can book an available meeting room on the spot or find another time slot and reserve it right from the panel.
