Does Microsoft Teams have an equivalent to WebEx Personal Rooms
This isn't how Teams is set up to work, it's a bit like giving me the key for one meeting but I could come back later and listen to anything else I fancy, the key still works. Say I was a journalist who interviewed your CEO, I could dial in and listen to the next Executive meeting etc.. It should not be necessary, it takes a second to add Teams to a meeting, and a second more for people to join in Teams on their laptop or mobile. It tends to stem from people who are used to dialling in, and want to save the whole number in their phones address book, just use the calendar in Teams.
I have seen people who refuse this create themselves one recurring meeting (each instance still has the same link/dial in details) and then use that. Typically they give up pretty quickly, as they get used to Teams they realise it's all just easier the way the product was intended.
StevenC365 Thanks very much for your example and guidance on this. I'm following up with the Webex user to get him more comfortable with using Teams. He's been using the Webex personal room link in his signature block so that customers can book time with him via Calendly. I'll see if he can switch to Bookings, which I believe should do the same thing.

No specific need for him to change, Calendly integrates with Teams if you wish to allow it ...

StevenC365 Thanks - Bookings is working out well. Trying to keep to Microsoft suite when possible.
