Using Meeting Room Apps

Manage your company space better. With this App, you can display room availability and next events on schedule. 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.

This App is available in two versions: full screen, which adapts to smaller screen areas as well, and bar. While the full screen version displays upcoming meetings, the bar only displays the room availability right now.
