In graphical mode, you are limited to a maximum of 2 years, as per Microsoft's recommendation. You can use the following command line to extend beyond 2 years (You need to modify the values in bold):

We are using M365 and would like to have a connection to ROOMZ with modern authentication (MFA).

Share e resource with external persons (M365)
If you want to share one or more resources with an external person you can create an iCal link and allow external bookings:
Create an iCal link:
To publish a room resource by iCal you need to have access to the Exchange online PowerShell moduleYou can use the following command to publish the resource for one year:
Adjust the identity with the Mail of the room.
Connect-ExchangeOnline
Set-MailboxCalendarFolder -Identity room@myorganization.com:\calendar -PublishEnabled $true -DetailLevel Full -PublishDateRangeTo OneYear -PublishDateRangeFrom OneYear
To get the link of the share, you need the following command:
Get-MailboxCalendarFolder -Identity room@myorganization.com:\calendar
Allow bookings from outside:
For all resources:Get-Mailbox| where {$_.RecipientTypeDetails -eq "RoomMailbox"} | Set-CalendarProcessing -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $trueOnly for one resource:
Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity room@myorganization.com -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true
Once you have done this, you can share the iCal link with an external person. The external people can then invite the meeting room as attendee. The room will then accept the booking (if it is free) and the ROOMZ display will also show the appointment correctly.
Please note that if you enter the meeting in the shared calendar, the room will not be booked. The room must be invited to the meeting as a participant. Otherwise, the meeting is only entered in Outlook
