Engage Calendar Integration
Released June 19th
Engage can integrate bi-directionally with your organization's Corporate Calendar (as long as it's Exchange/Outlook, Office365, or Google Calendar).
With this integration turned on:
- Your administrator can connect specific spaces (typically meeting rooms, conference rooms, huddle rooms, etc) in Engage to the matching resources in your Corporate Calendar
- Engage users can then see which rooms are free/busy based on their status in your Corporate Calendar
- When Engage users book these spaces in Engage, that booking is automatically synced back to your Corporate Calendar so that everyone can see that it's booked in Outlook or GCal.
For more details, refer to Engage Calendar Integration and if you have questions, then see Engage Calendar Integration FAQ.

Released June 19th
The Intune App SDK, available for both iOS and Android, enables your app to support Intune app protection policies. When the Engage app has app protection policies applied to it, it can be managed by Intune and is recognized by Intune as a managed app.
