More options now available to customize digital signage on your Google Meet hardware

Was sich ändert 

In the coming weeks, admins will be able to use their Comeen oder StratosMedia digital signage content on their Google Meet hardware devices. We know many of our customers use these tools for general digital signage needs within their organization and this update allows that content to be leveraged as screensavers across your Google Meet hardware fleet.
The Google Meet hardware ‘Screen Saver’  setting is located in the admin console under Devices > Google Meet hardware > Settings > Device settings

Zusätzliche Details

  • Note that Comeen and StratosMedia are paid services and there may be additional costs associated with registering your devices on their platform. 
  • In some cases, this feature can conflict with the power-saving feature on your Meet hardware devices. To ensure that your custom screen saver is visible, be sure to set displays as active during working hours in the organizational unit you’re targeting. 
  • Screen savers are not interactive—tapping your touch controller or using the remote will cause the screen saver to be dismissed, and the device will return to displaying the agenda on the homepage. 

Erste Schritte

  • Admins: Custom screen savers are opt-in and managed at the OU-level and apply to all devices in that organizational unit (OU). Visit the Help Center to learn more about how to display custom screen saver images.

    Configure Google Meet hardware devices to trust private certificate authorities

    Was sich ändert

    Google Meet hardware devices can now trust HTTPS certificates signed by a private certificate authority (CA). This simplifies the process of setting up and managing third-party user control interfaces (UCIs), especially in high impact meeting spaces with systems like Q-SYS.

    Previously, you had to get certificates signed by a public CA to enable Google Meet hardware touch controllers to load third-party UCIs. This process was often time-consuming and expensive, and required frequent renewals.

    Now, Google Meet hardware devices can trust certificates signed by a private certificate authority, enabling them to securely load a third-party room control system’s UCI. This gives you more control over your network security and eliminates the costs and complexities associated with public certificate signing.

    Use tokens as placeholders for user specific information when configuring managed iOS applications

    Was sich ändert

    In May 2024, we launched the ability for admins to remotely configure managed iOS apps on end-user devices via Google Mobile Device Management. 

    Beginning today, admins can use tokens in the app configurations for managed iOS apps. Tokens act as placeholders for information specific to a user or device that uses the app, such as a user’s email address or their device serial number. Previously, configuration data was static, but this update gives admins the flexibility to configure devices dynamically according to various users and devices.
