During Winterm 2024–2025, Sorensen Hall 205 (SORH 205) was upgraded to support in-person and hybrid Microsoft Teams meetings. The room now allows you to host Teams meetings directly through the room's presentation system, no laptop needed.

Starting Fall 2025:

• SORH 205 will serve as both a classroom and meeting space.
  
  
• It will be managed through the EMS reservation system.
  
  
• Note: If you need a Teams meeting, you must schedule that separately from the EMS reservation.
  • Until EMS setup is complete, see the KB article: "How to schedule the room SORH 205 (not for Teams)" for instructions.

Hosting a Teams Meeting in SORH 205 – Key Tips

• In the calendar meeting, add “SORH 205” as a required participant or co-organizer, NOT as the location.
• Do NOT add "sorh205-members@uwstout.edu", as this is a mailing list.
• Teams will want to auto-populate the Location field with“SORH 205”, delete it before saving.
  
  • This will happen if you edit the meeting, so be sure to delete it from the Location field each time you open the meeting.
• Be sure that an Organizer or Co-Organizer will be present in the room at the time of the meeting—LIT/LTS staff cannot manage meeting settings.
• Modify meeting settings in advance. Many changes cannot be made once the meeting is created.
