Let’s start from the beginning: a brand-new view

Room Booking - calendar overview

There is now a separate tab for Room Booking on the Book section, so you can see quickly when a room is available. 

In addition, we developed a calendar view to make it easier to schedule conference rooms and meetings. The updated feature also lets you see when the room is in use and provides other useful information, such as the room's capacity, a brief description, and a picture. 

Pretty handy, don’t you think?

And now to the best part: you can sync your calendar with Google or Outlook!

Room booking can sync with Google and Outlook calendars

With deskbird, you can now sync meeting rooms directly with your calendars in Google and Outlook. The newly added, on-demand feature will make it easier for you to stay on top of everything!

Simply access our Admin Portal and synchronize your Google and Outlook calendars. You will be able to import meeting rooms automatically, with no extra work! No more scheduling conflicts and more relevant information for you, such as seating capacity, location, and a picture of the room.

💡Good to know💡 

  • You will now find all your previous meeting rooms with one item in the new view.
  • In order to accommodate meeting rooms with multiple items, we have changed the resource type to "Other". You will be able to continue using them as you have in the past.

We are confident that these updates will help you manage your flexible workplace with ease and make your employees happy!
