    Hi Coppo23,

    you're encountering a common problem with Office 365 room calendars where the default setting displays the organizer's name instead of the meeting subject. 
    By default, the room mailbox’s calendar shows the organizer’s name instead of the subject because AddOrganizerToSubject and DeleteSubject are set to True.

    To change this behavior, you can use PowerShell commands.
    Here are the steps:

    1. Open Windows PowerShell and connect to Exchange Online PowerShell using a Microsoft 365 admin account.
    2. Run the following PowerShell command to set the values of AddOrganizerToSubject and DeleteSubject to False:

     

    Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity <RESOURCEMAILBOX> -DeleteSubject $False -AddOrganizerToSubject $False

     

    Make sure to replace <RESOURCEMAILBOX> with the email address of your room mailbox.

    This change will affect new meeting requests, allowing the room calendar to show the meeting subject instead of the organizer's name.
