Step 5: Add a Room Calendar
Solstice offers the option to show the schedule and calendar information for the room on a Solstice display when there is no other content being shared. Participants can see if the space is currently scheduled or available, as well as the next three upcoming meetings in the space.
Use the following options to integrate room calendars with your Solstice displays. For more details about room calendar integration settings for each calendar type, see Solstice Cloud: Calendar Template.
Room Calendar Settings in Calendar Template
In the left sidebar navigation panel of Solstice Cloud, click Manage > Templates > Calendar.
Click Create New Calendar Template.
Enter a descriptive Template Name.
Select the Enable Calendar Feature checkbox.
From the Calendar Type list, select the type of calendar you are integrating for the room. You will need to provide the following information for each option:
Microsoft Exchange - Enter the Microsoft Exchange Server URL for the room calendar account, select whether your Exchange server uses Basic or NTLM as an Authentication Type, and enter the information needed for that authentication type as prompted. If the account uses either an Impersonation or Delegation mailbox, select the appropriate option.
Office 365 Online - Select the Authentication Type for the room calendar's Microsoft 365 account and enter the information needed for that authentication type as prompted. If the account uses either an Impersonation or Delegation mailbox, select the appropriate option.
Google Calendar - Upload service account credentials, such as a JSON key, for the Google Workspace service account associated with the Pod's room calendar.
3rd Party Only - Only select this option if you are using Solstice’s OpenControl API to integrate a third-party calendar. See Calendar API for configuration options.
Note
Authentication information for room calendar accounts, such as Username, Password, or Room Email, will need to be entered individually for each Pod. Steps for doing so are covered in Step 8: Apply Templates and Unique-to-Pod Settings.
To hide meeting titles or meeting organizers from being visible on the room display, uncheck Show meeting titles and/or Show meeting organizers.
Select the desired Update Interval frequency to set how often Pods will update the calendar meeting information visible on the display.
Click Save.
