Managing room mailboxes

Room mailbox is a type of Exchange Online resource mailbox assigned to a physical location, such as a meeting room. Using room mailboxes that an administrator creates, users can reserve rooms by adding room mailboxes to meeting requests as an attendee or location.

In the Active Roles Web Interface, you can create, manage or delete room mailboxes in Directory Management > Tree> Azure > Resource Mailboxes. Room mailboxes created in the Active Roles Web Interface are synchronized to the Exchange admin center (admin.exchange.microsoft.com), where you can find them in Home > Resources.

For more information about room mailboxes, see Manage resource mailboxes in Exchange Online in the Microsoft Exchange Online documentation.
