Problems you recognise Rooms and desks
A two-person catch-up takes a twelve-seat boardroom because nothing steered it elsewhere. The big rooms run out first for the wrong reasons while smaller rooms sit idle.
A resource policy sets capacity, who may book, duration limits and optional approval. Set minimum and maximum attendees on room types so a two-person sync cannot grab a twelve-seat boardroom by default. Combine capacity rules with search filters so small meetings surface appropriately sized rooms first.
Resource policies can cap attendees, restrict who may book scarce rooms, and steer search toward appropriately sized space — so boardrooms stay available for meetings that need them.
