Booking dining room O365.

iroal

Due to Covid, we have limited access in the office dining room.

The dining room allows 10 people simultaneously.

My idea is to create a room, or resource, in O365, that allows an occupancy of 10 people, but that can be reserved by 10 different employees. I don't want an employee to be able to reserve all 10 seats in the room.

O365 or Outlook allow this?

Thanks.

That's not really how resource scheduling works, you be better off having 10 individual resources which can be booked simultaneously, rather than 1 large resource.

@iroal I would check the Microsoft 365 subreddit - lots of good information there.

@iroal Creating 10 rooms would accomplish what you want but still you would have to prevent the users from going to those other mailboxes which then becomes a policy instead.

YOu can try the free version of SIgnup Genius

or other system that does booking like that.

So, have I to create 10 resources?

I'd like to create just 1 resource with a capacity of 10 people.

I don´t want create 10 resources because in Outlook is not simple to see which resources are free.

But a single entity can book that 10 person resource for themselves then... Leaving 9 vacant spots

Finally I created 10 rooms.

I'd like to have created a single resource with a capacity of 10 but It only allow reserve it to one person.

It's really limited how resources and rooms work in Exchange
