Booking a new meeting? A shortcut to seeing which conference rooms are free!

If you are in an office with more than one conference room, you may find yourself scheduling meetings and having to click through every conference room you can think of to find one is free. Instead, you can make a contact group and have every conference room at the tip of your fingers.

Step 1: Click the contacts icon on the bottom of your Outlook bar

Step 2: Create a New Contact Group

Step 3: Give it a memorable name, and then select to Add Members from the Address Book

Press the plus sign to expand, and you will see every conference room and when it is available.
