Room is booked in Outlook but the room display does not show it

Outlook and the room system must run through the same resource mailbox. If someone books in a local calendar or an external tool, the booking never reaches the room display.

Try this first

  1. Check that a resource mailbox exists for the room in Microsoft 365, a regular user mailbox does not work for room finder or delegated booking.
  2. Set calendar processing to auto-accept with the right rules, otherwise invites stay tentative.
  3. Link the room display, or the room system itself, to the same resource mailbox, not a personal account.
  4. Test by sending an invite from another user and verify the room appears on the display within five minutes.
  5. For Zoom Rooms the link is slightly different, you tie the room to a Zoom Room licence and then to an Exchange or Google resource.
  6. Review active rooms once a quarter, stale tests or cancelled rooms sometimes linger on the mailbox.

When to bring us in

If bookings still do not arrive, the cause is in Exchange permissions or a mailbox quota. Vectel can audit and fix the configuration.
