Appspace now supports Logitech Tap Scheduler devices,  a purpose-built scheduling panel for meeting rooms, allowing organizations to find, book, and reserve the right meeting space using the Appspace Room Booking card.

With Appspace built into the device, there is near zero configuration to start using Appspace on the Logitech Tap Scheduler. Once configured, Appspace will automatically run and display the room schedules persistently on the device.

The dual indicator LEDs on the device integrate with the Room Booking card to further enhance the experience for employees, providing a clear indication of the availability of meeting spaces from a greater distance and from any angle, regardless of the screen visibility.

This article provides instructions to configure and register the Logitech Tap Scheduler device with Appspace.
