Have you found an answer to this issue? I ran into the same issue with the check double booking showing up even when the calendar is empty. I am not sure what other people are doing to work around this.

I have not found a solution. It fell off my priority list but still interested in getting it working.

If you do find a solution. May you please share that with us here? The double booking and overlapping times seems to be an issue Microsoft is not working to fix. I've submitted requests to Microsoft support and they closed the ticket with no solution.

Thanks!

I have the same request from an end user. Calendar is being used for room booking and we need to prevent double booking. Any help would be appreciated!
