Roombelt integrates with Google Calendar to display meeting room schedules on tablets placed by meeting room doors in your office.
Roombelt's two-way integration with Google Calendar ensures real-time visibility of your bookings. When a meeting room is booked from the Google Calendar user interface, it will be instantly shown in Roombelt, providing you with accurate and reliable information.
If a meeting room is free, you can book it from a Roombelt device, and it will be visible in Google Calendar. You can extend this meeting from Roombelt or end it earlier to free the room.
After creating the account, you should see the Roombelt administration panel, which is similar to the one below.
Now it's time to connect your first physical device (e.g., tablet). To test Roombelt, you can use any tablet or even a mobile phone:
In the "Connect device" dialog, provide the "connection code" and click "Next".
Pick the device type "Single calendar" and click "Next".
Choose the desired calendar from the list and click "Voila". If your meeting room is missing on the list see How to add missing Google Calendar room.
At this point, your device should display details about current and upcoming meetings.
