How to Reserve a Meeting Room Through Outlook

Since we have limited private office spaces with high demand, we have set up three shared calendars using our tslmarketing.com domain to view availability and schedule time to use these rooms. This page shows steps to do so for a PC desktop version of Outlook, as well as the new and old online versions of Outlook. Office spaces include:

• Main Conference Room
• Kitchen Room
• Open Office next to Jen’s office (If you have three or less people, please book this room first)

Please connect with Chris K. directly if you need additional support; he maintains these calendar accounts.

Outlook version: PC desktop

1. Create a calendar event
2. Select invite users in the top middle of the invite
3. Click rooms to the right of location
4. Select the room you would like to reserve (if you do not see them search for Main Conference, Kitchen Room or Open Office)
5. Click rooms at the bottom left to add it
6. Click OK

Another way to reserve these rooms is to send a calendar invite to openoffice@tslmarketing.com, mainconference@tslmarketing.com or kitchenroom@tslmarkeing.com.
