An iPad app displays a meeting room’s Google Calendar status and lets walk-ins book from the door.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-17 issue.

For: Offices setting up iPad meeting-room signs
Worth noticing: The display refreshes every minute; the site warns that getting power to a wall-mounted iPad may be the larger project.

Field notes

The setup flow connects an iPad to a Google Calendar room, with a PIN for the selected room; IT teams can use a service account and deploy settings through MDM. The site says calendar data stays on the device, with titles hideable for private meetings. It also flags a physical installation constraint: a nearby outlet or electrician-run Ethernet power may be needed to keep the display running.
