A calendar resource is anything you schedule that isn't an event. The most common example is a meeting room. Other examples might include projectors, company fleet cars, guest offices, recreation equipment, or any other resource that the people in your organization might schedule a time to use.

To create and manage resources:

1. Create resources
   When creating resources, we recommend specific naming conventions to make your resources easy for users to find.

2. Manage calendar resources
   To manage a resource, you need to add the resource's email address to your My Calendars list. You can then use the drop-down menu by the resource to edit, share, or get notifications about the resource.

3. Share calendar resources
   If you don't explicitly set the sharing option for your new resource, it will inherit the default sharing option for calendars in your organization.

4. Add resources to an event
   Once resources are created and shared, you and your users can add resources to your events much the same way as you invite guests to events.

5. Get resource notifications
   You can set up to be notified whenever:

   • A resource is scheduled on a new event
   • A scheduled event is changed or canceled
   • Invited people or resources reply to an event

   You can also request a daily schedule for the resource.
