Manage communal company space better. With the Meeting Room Apps, you can display current meeting room availability and who has booked the room next. This way no one is going to use the room when it is already booked. Avoid confusion about room occupation by displaying which meeting is scheduled in the room and what it is about.
The Meeting Room App is available in two versions. The full screen version is called Meeting Room Calendar App. It is adaptable even to smaller screen regions. The narrow bar version is called Meeting Room Calendar Bar App. While the full screen version displays current as well as upcoming meetings, the bar only displays the room availability right now.
