Meeting room allocation on bookings
My organization currently uses calendar to book meetings with a choice to pick a meeting room already registered on the calendar system,but we are looking at using Microsoft bookings instead and ever...
Can't believe this is still a thing. Same issue.... anyone else have some suggestions for clever work arounds?
This might be because the room/resource calendar is added to the Staff with the Guest role. Or that it has a higher role than Guest and the option 'Office calendar events influence availability' is not checked for that 'staff' member.
In that case, it is very much possible to create double bookings in the room's calendar.
This situation can also be caused by having the room/resource calendar's account set up on an on-premise server (then it can only be added in Bookings staff as guest) while the (human) staff's accounts are on Exchange online (which is a prerequisit to access the Bookings UI).

No changes so far? This would be a nice feature. Have the possibility to book a staff in a specific room- I'm not a MS employee ^^ But you can check the roadmap to see what they have planned: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Bookings . Doesn't look like adding rooms or other resources is on there just yet.
