Using the Hummingbird Calendar Add-in to Reserve a Space
Use the Hummingbird Add-in to help find a room or desk straight from your Microsoft Outlook in the web browser. This means you can remain in Outlook and seamlessly create events without going to another app.
From the Hummingbird Calendar panel, you can complete the following:
- Launch and Login
- Change the Location

- Edit or Cancel a Reservation
Launch and Login
