It is possible to set up your room resources to be visible in other calendars. This comes in handy for shared co-working spaces that share the same room resources but not necessarily the calendar integration.
To avoid duplicating the room resource in both calendars, and to avoid overlapping bookings you can set up your room resource to be visible and bookable in other calendar solutions.
