How to Use
To use the functionality of the Berkeley Lab Calendar extension, assign a conference room resource to a meeting. The links will be visible to anyone with access to the invite and who have installed the extension.
Note that an older version of this extension could actually paste extended meeting location information directly into the calendar invitation. Due to to a major Google Calendar redesign, this functionality had to be removed.
