What a room display does
A room display is a digital sign at the door that shows clear, accurate room schedules. It runs Robin's companion app, Rooms. Room displays let people book a room, see its availability and answer the question "Is this room free when I need it?"
Robin Meeting Rooms also has a "check-in" option and abandoned meeting protection. These features reduce meeting room "theft" and "ghosted" meetings, which are common in offices.
Before you start, set up your spaces and connect room calendars to your spaces in Robin. If you have not done this, first add spaces to your Robin office and connect your room calendars to Robin.
