How to Use Skeedool

Skeedool is a smart meeting room coordinator. By using custom display screens outside your doors and connecting your calendar invitations, you can eliminate double bookings and coordinate your physical workspaces with ease.

Quick Start Guide (4 Simple Steps)

1

Create Your Meeting Rooms

Go to your dashboard under Meeting Roomsand add a room. Enter a name (like “Executive Room”) and its physical location (like “Floor 2”).

2

Get the Room Email Address

Skeedool automatically generates a dedicated email address ending in @skeedool.com for your room. You can copy this address from your meeting rooms list.

3

Mount the Display Outside the Door

Click Open next to the room display in your dashboard. Open this custom link on any tablet or screen device, place it in full screen, and mount it next to your meeting room door.

4

Book via Calendar Invitations

When scheduling a meeting in Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar, simply invite the room's email address as a guest. Skeedool handles the reservation and updates the display immediately.

Room Display Hardware & Anti-Standby Setup

Hardware Not Included in Subscription

How to configure display tablets outside meeting rooms so the screen stays permanently active without turning off or entering standby mode.

Important Notice: Hardware & Devices are Provided by the Customer

Your Skeedool subscription provides the cloud software platform, calendar integrations, interactive room display URLs, and management dashboard. Physical display devices (tablets, iPads, wall mounts, and power adapters) are provided, owned, and set up entirely by the customer.

iPad / iOS Setup Guide
  • Disable Screen Auto-Lock: Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock and set it to Never.
  • Enable Guided Access (Kiosk Mode): Go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access and turn it ON.
  • Lock Screen to Skeedool Display: Open your room display URL in Safari, triple-click the Top/Side button to activate Guided Access, and tap Start. This locks the tablet strictly to the room display page and prevents users from exiting or closing the screen.
  • Power Connection: Keep the iPad continuously connected to a wall charger or PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) cable.
Android Tablet Setup Guide
  • Enable Stay Awake Option: Turn on Developer Options (tap Build Number 7 times in Settings > About Tablet), then enable Stay Awake (screen never sleeps while charging).
  • Recommended Kiosk Browser: Install Fully Kiosk Browser (or similar Kiosk App) from Google Play. Set the Skeedool room display URL as the startup page, enable full-screen, and turn on Keep Screen On.
  • Android Screen Timeout: Go to Settings > Display > Screen Timeout and set it to maximum/never.
  • Power Connection: Keep the device continuously plugged into a USB power source.
Pro-Tip for Installation: For a clean aesthetic outside room doors, use sleek wall mounts with concealed cables, or glass suction mounts for glass partitions. Make sure the device connects to a reliable Wi-Fi network for instant calendar synchronization.

Email Booking Coordination

Automatic synchronization with your office calendars

When you invite the room email address to your calendar event:

  • Our server receives the event details and blocks the time immediately.
  • Any schedule updates, time changes, or cancellations in your calendar client are automatically synchronized.
  • The door display updates its status to occupied or available in real-time.

Interactive Room Displays

1-tap bookings and current meeting control

The screen placed outside the meeting room is designed for quick interaction:

  • Room Status: Shows AVAILABLE (green) or OCCUPIED (red) with a remaining meeting timer.
  • Quick Book (1-Tap): If the room is free, tap one of the large buttons (15m, 30m, 1h, 2h) to lock the room immediately without entering any details.
  • Overlap Prevention: The quick booking buttons automatically block times that would overlap with upcoming scheduled meetings.
  • End Meeting: Tap “End Meeting Now” to free up the room instantly if your sync concludes early.

iCal Sync feeds

View all bookings inside your personal calendar

Copy the iCal Feed link next to any room in your dashboard. You can paste this URL into Google Calendar, Outlook, or your phone calendar settings as a subscribed calendar. This allows your team to see all room bookings at a glance from their own devices.
