	~~'''~~Note~~:''' The virtual room feature works only for online bookings~~. If you ~~add bookings manually place them in~~ your ~~"real rooms" not into virtual rooms~~.		<span class="circle" >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note </span> Test dependencies carefully. If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules. If you are connecting one physical room more than once to a booking channel you are risking overbookings.
