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.
  
  
• Room scheduling will be managed via the EMS reservation system.
  
  
• Note: If you are hosting a Teams meeting you must schedule that separately from the EMS reservation.
  • Until the 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, type SORH 205 - Teams Room in the "Location" field.
  • If you don't see the Location field, make sure you are scheduling a Teams Meeting and not an Appointment.
  • Be sure that it reads "SORH 205 - Teams Room" and the auto complete did not fill in something else.
    
    
• An Organizer or Co-Organizer must be present in the room at the time of the meeting—LIT/LTS staff cannot manage meeting settings.
• You can start the meeting from the system in the room, but you must bring a laptop to share content, there is not a computer in the room.
• It is much easier to modify your meeting seeings in advance, than to try to change them after the meeting has started.Some changes cannot be made once the meeting is created.
