Meeting room panel

Free or busy, readable from the corridor

The classic door panel without the proprietary hardware: a tablet or small screen by the door shows whether the room is free or busy right now, the current booking and what comes next, green when free and red when busy. Paste the iCal link of the room calendar and that is it.

Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month. Plugin version v1.1.

On the screen

What the screen shows

Free or busy now

Green when free, red when busy, with the minutes until the next change.

Current booking and next

What is happening in the room and what follows.

From the room calendar

Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Exchange, through the iCal link.

One widget per room

Every door gets its own panel, all managed from one dashboard.

Setup

How it connects

01
Copy the room calendar's iCal link

Google Workspace: the room resource's secret iCal address. Microsoft 365: publish the room calendar and copy the ICS link.

02
Paste it and name the room

The panel shows the room name, the clock and the bookings.

03
Open it on the door screen

A tablet in a stand or a small screen with a Pi opens the player URL and stays on the panel.

Privacy

What reaches the screen

The panel reads the room calendar you paste and shows the booking titles on the door. Give the room calendar a title policy that suits a corridor, or use a calendar that hides details.
