June 2026 Product Roundup

It's been a summer to remember already, and we're just getting started. Over the past month, Scottish World Cup fans have taken over the streets around our Boston office, making in-office days a lot more fun. While we're sad to see them go, there are still two weeks of games left, so here's hoping your team is still in it.

Alright, let's get into this month's releases:

June's theme: the complete booking experience

A lot of the friction in shared workspace scheduling isn't making the booking itself. It's the logistics around it: pinging an admin to reserve a projector, finding a room for a last-minute meeting, copying a meeting link into an email. This month's releases are all about ensuring those extra steps and considerations are all handled within Skedda, whether that's from the booking form, the tablet outside a conference room, or a spreadsheet of event guests.

Here's what's new:

‍

Tablet Booking & Check-in

Tablets outside meeting rooms have always been useful for telling you whether a room is free. Actually doing anything about it (reserving the room, checking in, or ending a meeting early) meant opening Skedda separately on a phone or laptop, or even tracking down an office admin.

What's new

Now, tablets paired with your Skedda account can be optionally turned into interactive room terminals. By enabling “Tablet Actions” for a paired device, anyone standing at the tablet can:

• Check in: confirm attendance for the current booking with one tap, no login required
• Book now: claim a free room on the spot, pick an end time, and start using it immediately as a walk-in booking
• End meeting now: free up the room early for the next person with a single confirmation

To turn it on, go to Settings → Tablet displays, start pairing a tablet, and check "Show extended booking information." That reveals a nested "Allow room actions" checkbox. Both need to be checked for room actions to appear.

Room actions are off by default, and existing tablet behavior doesn't change until an admin opts in.

In practice

• Auto-release finally works as intended: venues without WiFi-based check-in can now confirm attendance right at the door, so rooms don't get accidentally released simply because someone forgot to check in on their phone.
• Walk-up booking, no app required: sometimes ad-hoc meetings happen. That’s the beauty of in-office days, right? Now users can claim an open room via the tablet display the moment they need it
• Rooms free up faster: simply tap on the tablet to end a meeting early. No need to find  an admin or open a browser

Booking Add-Ons

Booking a space to work in is often just step one. Someone reserving a lab bench also needs the centrifuge. Someone booking a hot desk might also need a parking spot for the day. Someone reserving a conference room for an event might need folding tables. Until now, the only way to request that stuff in Skedda was through custom booking fields. These fields weren’t backed by availability logic, meaning three people could book the same piece of equipment at the same time. 

What's new

Booking Add-Ons are now available on Workplace Premier. Admins create named extras (equipment, amenities, services) under Settings → Add-Ons, and users pick from them directly in the booking form when they reserve an eligible space.

Here's what you can do:

• Set stock limits: cap how many units of an add-on exist so two bookings can't claim the same Bunsen burner or the same parking spot
• Link add-ons to specific spaces: only relevant extras show up for a given space, so the booking form stays clean and users can't request something that doesn't apply
• Restrict by user tag: control which add-ons are visible to which groups of users
• Get full visibility in booking emails: every booking request, approval, modification, and cancellation email now includes complete add-on details, so admins can approve without chasing down context

In practice

• No more informal resource requests: add-ons replace the custom-field workaround with real inventory logic, so availability is enforced automatically instead of tracked by hand
• Cleaner booking forms: space-linking means users only ever see add-ons that actually apply to what they're booking
• Faster approvals: admins see every add-on request right inside the booking email, with changes clearly marked, so there's no back-and-forth before approving

Priority Booking Rules

Booking window rules have always been a blunt instrument: the same advance-notice window for every day, every booking, every team. That's a real problem for venues running team-based RTO, where Marketing might come in on Tuesdays and Engineering on Wednesdays, all sharing the same desk pool.

What's new

Booking window rules can now be scoped to specific days of the week and time ranges. Admins add or edit a rule, click the "at all times" trigger, and choose "Specify times" to set a day-and-time filter. The rolling booking window then only applies to bookings that fall inside that window.

• Give teams priority on their day: Marketing gets early access Tuesdays, Engineering gets it Wednesdays, all on the same shared desk pool
• Recover unused capacity: if a priority team doesn't claim their day, the window opens up to everyone else on short notice
• Set day-specific windows: open Monday's booking window on the preceding Friday, for example, while other days keep a standard one-day-ahead policy

In practice

• Native support for team-based RTO: no need for extra spaces or workarounds to give different teams priority on different days
• Better utilization: desks that go unclaimed by the team with priority can be booked last minute by other users, making better use of your space
• More precise control: admins can fine-tune booking windows down to the day, not just apply one blanket policy

Webex Integration

Organizations using Cisco Webex have had to manually create Webex meetings and paste the links into bookings. It's more work, and it's an easy way for links to go stale or missing on recurring meetings.

What's new

Skedda now supports Webex as a native conferencing option alongside Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. Admins connect it under Settings → Integrations → Cisco Webex Meeting with a one-time OAuth setup. From there, users booking a space synced with Google Calendar or Outlook can select Webex from the conferencing dropdown, and Skedda generates the meeting link automatically.

• The link shows up everywhere attendees look: the Skedda booking, the synced calendar event, and the notification email
• Recurring bookings reuse one persistent link across every occurrence, so attendees never end up with the wrong URL
• If a booking already has a Webex link from an external calendar event, Skedda detects it and reuses it instead of creating a duplicate

In practice

• One less manual step per booking: no more copying and pasting meeting links into Skedda
• Consistent links on recurring meetings: everyone uses the same URL for every occurrence, automatically

Also shipped this month

Invite multiple visitors at once with CSV import: preparing for a big event or a busy day of arrivals no longer means adding guests one by one. Upload a CSV file and invite your full visitor list in a single step. Learn how it works.

New side navigation bar: The lefthand menu in your Skedda account now collapses and expands, so you can get to your favorite settings and booking pages faster. Language selection and support links have moved to the new profile tab, and if you manage multiple venues, a new venue selector at the bottom of the menu makes switching between them quick.

That's June

Every one of this month's releases removes a step that used to send someone somewhere else: back to a computer to book a room, over to an admin to request equipment, into an email to paste a meeting link, through a guest list one name at a time. June's updates keep people where they already are and let them get more done from there.

We're heading into Q3 with more exciting things on the roadmap. Keep an eye out.
