Rooms and resources in Google Calendar events are now listed in the guest list instead of the location field.
Google Calendar has updated where booked rooms and resources are displayed within an event. This information will now appear in the guest list and will no longer be duplicated in the location field. This change allows users to use the location field exclusively for the geographic address of the event, providing guests with a clearer understanding of where to go.

Turning off less secure app access to G Suite accounts - Impact to Calendar
Limiting the ability for less secure apps (LSAs) to access G Suite account data. If you use CalDAV to give an app or device access to your calendar, switch to a method that supports OAuth. We recommend the Google Calendar app [Web/iOS/Android] as the most secure app to use with your G Suite account. If your G Suite account is linked to the calendar app in iOS or MacOS and uses only a password to login, you’ll need to remove and re-add your account to your device. When you add it back, select “sign in with Google” to automatically use OAuth.
