I just pinged my contact. Let’s hope they’ve resolved this.

I spent some time with this. If you’re talking about the same Org, it’s very easy. Either the host books all rooms, or the participant can forward the invite to the room they want. In this case, forwarding has to be enabled on the original invite and the room resources has to be set to auto-accept forwarded invites and also to include all details in the calendar entry. When you start talking about org to org, things start to get freaky. I don’t begin to understand the intricacies, but it comes down to whether the system is setup to use the originator’s details or the room’s details. They’re working things out last time I checked. In my case, I was trying to test org to org, from my trial org to my production org. Because they were both Webex enabled O365 orgs with calendar integration enabled, this would _not_ work and won’t work until they fix things. Basically, Org A sets the meeting, and the participant from Org B forwards to their room to book the room. But the room device never sees the appt. (but the calendar does). When I was asked to test an external org, like gmail, I was able to create a calendar entry and invite Org B and Org B was able to forward to their room, and the room device showed the OBTP. There were some odd things in play, like title and stuff, but they’re working on some of that as well. I think there were a bunch of room settings to fix some of them as well. I’m hoping that with the next upgrade, and some other back end improvements, they will have org to org forwarding appts working whether or not they’re both CH orgs, both with O365 calendar integration enabled or, one is a non-webex, non-CH org and the other is a webex org. Not sure if that makes sense how I wrote that down.

I could see two scenarios: 1) the host would need to book all rooms on one invite, or 2) the participants book their own rooms. And come to think of it, what if the host is in Org A, while the participants are in Org B, which eliminates the first scenario, but promotes the second. If in scenario 2, are the participants getting the OBTP to work correctly by just manual copy/paste the invite body into their own separate invite?
