Microsoft 365 Resources and RoomLists

Configure Microsoft 365 and Exchange to allow Zeeg to recognize resource or room calendars.

To enable applications such as Zeeg to detect that calendars belong to resources or rooms, specific configuration is required in Microsoft 365 and Exchange.

To create a Room or Resource, use the Microsoft 365 Admin Web Interface.https://portal.office.com/adminportal/home#/ResourceMailbox

Rooms and resources must also be added to a RoomList, but unfortunately Microsoft 365 does not give the option to do this via the Admin Web Interface.

To accomplish this via PowerShell, first connect to your Microsoft 365 instance as described here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj984289(v=exchg.160).aspx

After completing that step, use the following PowerShell commands to create a RoomList and add your resource to it.

Creating a RoomList

To create a collection of rooms called "Zeeg Meeting Rooms," issue the following PowerShell command:

New-DistributionGroup -Name "Zeeg Meeting Rooms" -RoomList

Adding an existing Resource to a RoomList

For an existing room named "Room Berlin" and an existing RoomList named "Zeeg Meeting Rooms," issue the following PowerShell command:

Add-DistributionGroupMember –Identity "Zeeg Meeting Rooms" -Member "Room Berlin"

Connecting Full Access delegated account with Zeeg

After adding your Resources to a RoomList, connect an account that has full access (delegate) to the Resources and the RoomList you want to use with your Zeeg organization; i.e., the account you connect, must be able to open the mailbox of the resource and behave as the mailbox owner, with full access to the mailbox.

Then, you will be able to assign resource calendars to rooms in your Zeeg organization.
