What the Outlook add-in does
Robin's Outlook Add-In brings space search and more office context into Outlook calendars, so you do not have to leave your calendar system. After an admin installs it for your tenant, a sidebar with information about the office shows when you create or view events. If the event already has conference rooms invited, Robin shows details about the space automatically.
Warning
Microsoft does not develop new features for Exchange Web Services (EWS) in Office 365. Microsoft develops the Graph API instead. So the Robin add-in for Exchange is available, but with only basic functions.
Download and install the add-in
In Exchange 2016 or higher, admins can install Office Add-ins like Robin manually. If you have not installed an Add-In for your on-premise environment before, you may need to change your configuration to allow store installs. Microsoft's "Install or remove add-ins for Outlook for your organization" guide shows how to do this with the manifest file below.
If you cannot use the Office Directory, install the add-in with this manifest: https://extensions-v2.robinpowered.com/outlook/production/manifest.xml
Robin does not have an extension that supports Exchange 2010.
How it works
The sidebar shows details about your office next to your Outlook events.

Questions the add-in answers
The Outlook for Exchange extension helps you answer questions like these:
- "When is this conference room free next?"
- "Will I have a whiteboard in this afternoon's meeting?"
- "Which other spaces with video conferencing are free now?"
