Once it is accepted, I haven't had any issues.
aaron_anderson_IL Not sure if I got you right. Do you say, you have set up the room as a resource in Exchange Admin and used that in Bookings? Or did you set up the room as a regular Exchange user?
I want to use my existing resource (room) and have that bookable in Bookings. But of course, it needs to be synced with free/busy of internal bookings done with the Outlook calendar.
- The room resource needs to added as a "Team Member" to the bookings page. Initially, the room resource account gets added as a "guest". We need to go to "Manage staff" and delete and re-add the room resource and set the role as "Team Member". This may take couple of tries, but I can confirm it works. The room is now bookable through bookings page/link and is syncd with room's existing calendar entries.
