How it works
Instruction video: Meeting Room Management
Select a meeting room for your meeting
Create a new meeting, and on the meeting detail, you will see the Meeting Room field appear, which allows you to select a meeting room.
If the room is already occupied, you will see a pop-up appear.
This feature will save you time to find a meeting room for daily meetings, and optimize your meeting/appointment planning.
