This demo shows how to configure a new building in Microsoft Places, then add floors and sections using PowerShell. It starts with the prerequisites at aka.ms/PlacesRequirements, then connects with Connect-MicrosoftPlaces and enables Buildings and Places Finder using Set-PlacesSettings. From there, it creates a building with New-Place (Type set to Building, with name and address minimums, plus optional metadata like wheelchair accessibility), pulls the Place ID using Get-PlaceV3, adds floors with New-Place (Type set to Floor, using a numeric name and the building as the parent), and partitions each floor into sections—like a north and south section—using New-Place with Type set to Section. It wraps by calling out Set-PlaceV3 as the workhorse for configuring Places entities and points to the next video for setting up bookable resources at aka.ms/ConfigurePlacesVideo.
We produced this as a crisp, confidently paced demo—planned in preproduction down to the exact command path, then captured with clean screens, professional voiceover, and music that keeps the flow moving. In post, we tightened everything into a walkthrough people can actually follow on the first watch, with the important steps landing clearly and the technical bits feeling approachable. After review rounds, we deliver the full package: closed captions, audio description, and thumbnails.
The inevitable sequels
Hollywood keeps stretching good ideas into progressively worse sequels. We don’t. These are the related videos—spiritual siblings of the one you just watched—as good or better than this video. Expect callbacks, new plot twists, and maybe even a scene-stealing cameo from a lower third.
