With our Office Engagement features, you can easily connect with new colleagues and stay up to date.
1. Favorites Notifications
Stay updated with your favorite colleagues! Simply mark them as favorites in the "Meetup" tab and activate activity notifications. You’ll receive a notification in Teams whenever one of your favorites books a day at the office that you haven’t yet booked. This way, you’ll never miss the chance to spend time with your team!
Example: You’re working on an important project with a colleague and want to sync up in person. Instead of asking when they’ll next be in the office, just mark them as a favorite. You'll automatically get a notification when they make a booking—then you can conveniently book yourself in for the same day.
- To do this, first mark your colleague as a favorite in the "Meetup" tab using the star icon in the top right corner.
- Next, go to your profile settings. From the homepage, click on your profile picture in the top right. Under notifications, you’ll find the “Collaboration” option. Toggle it on to activate notifications.
- Once one of your favorites makes a booking on a day you haven’t yet booked, you’ll receive an activity notification in Teams. With just one click, you can easily book a desk and spend the day with your favorite colleague!
In the Microsoft Teams settings, under Notifications and Activities, scroll down to find Seatti as an app. Here, you can adjust how you’d like to receive notifications in more detail:
2. Interests
The interests feature allows you to connect with colleagues who share your personal interests. Meet people you might not otherwise cross paths with—even from other departments or teams at your location.
Go to the Interests tab on the homepage. Here, you can edit your interests, add new ones, or remove existing ones. The number next to each category shows how many people have already chosen that interest.
To make your interests visible to others and connect with them, you need to select at least 3 interests.
After selecting your interests, you’ll see all colleagues who share the same ones. You can filter between My favorites or your main location (e.g., Munich office). You can also filter by a specific date.
Note: The more specific your main location (which you can update anytime in your profile settings), the fewer colleagues will be shown. To see more colleagues, choose a broader main location, such as “Munich” instead of “Munich, 1st floor, Room 405.”
With just one click on a colleague, you can open a chat and arrange to meet for lunch, a morning walk, or even a weekend trip!
3. Office News & Events
To stay informed about all events and announcements, you can use our Office News feature. You can create your own announcements or see those posted by colleagues at your location.
Note: You will only see announcements from people at your main location, and your own announcements will also only be visible to colleagues at your main location. You can update your main location anytime in your profile settings.
Click the icon to the left of your profile picture. You’ll be taken directly to announcements, where you can see all posts from your colleagues.
To create your own announcement, click + New and fill in the details. You can edit or delete your announcements anytime under View my announcements.
