Google Meet hardware now offers improved in-room problem reporting with contextual UI options and new Admin console monitoring columns.
The update introduces a redesigned feedback menu that provides In‑Call, Out‑of‑Call, and Livestream‑specific problem reporting options, making it easier for room participants to submit actionable feedback. In the Admin console, two new columns—Last feedback submitted and Feedback in the last 28 days—are added, along with a new “With feedback in last 7 days” filter, giving admins enhanced visibility and sorting capabilities. Feedback sharing must be enabled in GMH Settings. The feature rolls out gradually over up to 15 days starting July 14, 2026 for both Rapid and Scheduled Release domains.

Join video conferences on Google Meet hardware via SIP through Pexip.
Google Meet hardware users can now join video conferences on any SIP-compatible platform using a Pexip interop gateway. This functionality, available for both Android and ChromeOS-based hardware, includes DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) capabilities to allow users to navigate interactive voice response (IVR) systems and enter numeric meeting passcodes. Administrators have distinct settings to manage SIP dial-out functionality separately from other Pexip-based integrations.

Google Meet users can now connect to nearby conference room hardware using a 5-character room code.
Google Meet hardware now supports connecting via a 5-character alphanumeric room code entered on a personal device, providing a reliable manual fallback when proximity-based detection is unavailable or disabled. To maintain security, users must physically confirm their presence by tapping the hardware screen after entering the code, and the codes refresh every few minutes. This feature is currently available in Early Preview for domains on the Rapid Release track.

Admins can now assign or unassign Google Calendars to Google Meet hardware devices in bulk via CSV upload.
Google is introducing a new capability for administrators to manage calendar assignments for Meet hardware devices in bulk. By utilizing a CSV file with the 'assignedCalendarResourceEmail' column, admins can assign or unassign calendars across multiple devices simultaneously, reducing administrative effort for large organizations. Note that while personal calendars can be assigned to multiple devices, room calendar resources are limited to one device at a time, requiring a two-step CSV process to move them between devices.

Admins can now choose to wait for device inactivity before rebooting Google Meet hardware.
Google Meet hardware devices can now be rebooted by administrators with more flexibility. A new "Reboot when idle" option allows administrators to queue a reboot to occur only when all user activity has ceased, avoiding interruptions to ongoing meetings or device usage. Previously, only an immediate reboot was possible, requiring careful timing. This enhancement provides two reboot options: "Reboot when the device becomes idle" and "Reboot now, even if the device is in use."
