Abstract
In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for assigning conference rooms are presented. A meeting request may be received by an electronic meeting service. Meeting fit scores may be calculated for the meeting request and one or more conference rooms. The meeting fit scores may be based on location, capacity, and/or audio-visual capabilities. The meeting request may be assigned to a conference room with a highest meeting fit score. A meeting request may be re-assigned to a different conference room based on a conference room becoming available that has a higher meeting fit score. A meeting request may be re-assigned to a different conference room based on characteristics of the meeting request being modified (e.g., fewer invitees, more invitees, different location specified), and thus, the meeting fit scores for conference rooms changing based on those modifications.
