Constraints
Keep these constraints in mind If you scheduled your event in Outlook using the MyRoom add-in, make any modifications to it using the add-in, not your MyRoom account. If you modify the event in your MyRoom account, the changes will not be passed through to your Outlook calendar or your attendees.
The MyRoom panel must be open when changes or cancellations are made to your Outlook meeting.
Any setup/changes/cancellations can be saved but they do not take effect until you click the Send, Send Update or Send Cancellation button.
You can only schedule meetings through Outlook in rooms which you own. Rooms for which you have Room Administrator privileges will not be included in the Available Rooms list.
The HP MyRoom Add-in for Outlook is not available for Mac and Linux.
