Google Meet hardware devices now support HTTPS certificates signed by private certificate authorities.

Google Meet hardware devices can now trust HTTPS certificates signed by a private certificate authority (CA), simplifying the setup and management of third-party user control interfaces (UCIs), such as Q-SYS. Previously, administrators were required to use certificates signed by a public CA, which was often expensive and time-consuming. This update allows for greater network security control and eliminates the costs associated with public certificate signing.

Google Meet introduces the eCDN On-Premises API for more private livestreaming bandwidth optimization.

Google Meet has launched the eCDN On-Premises API, allowing administrators to implement Enterprise Content Delivery Network (eCDN) for livestreaming while maintaining strict network privacy. The API enables the replacement of IP addresses with self-assigned peering group names and encrypts session description protocol (SDP) handshakes, ensuring that internal network information is not shared with Google while still reducing bandwidth consumption through peer-assisted media delivery.
