2. Adding Multiple Rooms to a Single Meeting
There are two types of multi‑room bookings:
a) Multiple individual rooms
(e.g., booking MEL 25.01 + SYD 10.06 for a cross‑office call)
b) Combination rooms
(e.g., MEL 25.12 + MEL 25.13 that operate as one space)
This guide covers a) - adding multiple individual rooms via the Location field.
Combination room behaviour is controlled by Nura Space and is still rolling out
How to add multiple rooms
Step 1 – Open the meeting
Use an existing meeting or create a new one
Step 2 – Add rooms through the Location field
In the Location field:
- Type your first room (e.g., MEL 25.01)
- Select the room
- Type the second room (e.g., SYD 10.06)
- Select it
- Repeat as needed
You’ll see something like:
MEL 25.01; SYD 10.06; CAN 1.04
Step 3 – Validate room availability
When you send the invite:
- Each room will independently accept or decline
- If a room declines, Outlook will send you an email telling you which one conflicted and why
- You can replace only the declined room without redoing the entire meeting
