Make sure your resource is added correctly. You can find instructions explaining how to add a resource in the Google Admin console here. Once you have a resource configured, you can assign it to a device.

1. From the Admin console home page, click on Devices.

4. Click Assign Calendar.

5. Click Room Calendar and type in the name of the resource that you would like the device to be attached to.

6. Finally, click Save. A message will popup asking if you would like to keep the current name or use the new room name, make the selection that best fits your preferences.


Now that your resource is attached to a device, you can schedule the new resource. Go to Google Calendar, create an event, and select the new resource as your meeting room.
