There are two types of meeting invites within Outlook, one-time and recurring invites with the latter occurring on an ongoing basis into the future or until a defined end date is reached. This documentation will assist you with browsing and selecting a on-site or virtual location for these meetings. 

NOTE: If you would like to create a recurring room reservation for a on-site location with a end date of less than six months, we encourage the use of Zoom Workspace within Outlook.

  2. Select New Event.
  3. Enter a Title for the event.
