resource account

Question

Hello?

I am trying to show a meeting room schedule in front of a room using a phone or tablet. (like kiosk)
I understand that I can use a resource account that doesn't require license.
Then is it also possible that I can install and login Outlook app on a device with that account to show its schedule?

If it is not, are there any other alternative options that office 365 can offer to show a schedule like meeting room 365 does?
(please refer to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWfu1UM0A74 )

Thank you for your help.

No, logging in directly to a resource mailbox is not a supported scenario, you need to use Full access permissions and a "regular" account. An acceptable workaround might be to "publish" the calendar and load the resulting web page:

Set-MailboxCalendarFolder TV:\Calendar -PublishEnabled $true
Get-MailboxCalendarFolder TV:\Calendar | select -ExpandProperty PublishedCalendarUrl
http://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/******@domain.com/b6d030b90bd442359df08bb0bd0615594219520892717264596/calendar.html

Alternatively, you can access the data programmatically/expose it in your preferred way.
