- Controller: Mimo Myst controller
- Audio: AVer Fone 540 speakermic (with expansion mics available for larger rooms)
- Camera:
- AVer Cam340+ for small and medium rooms
- AVer Cam 520 Pro3 for large rooms
- This device also features built-in third-party room framing, which helps ensure the room is optimally framed. You can turn on this framing from the device by selecting Control camera > Framing by Aver.

What’s changing
As we continue to
enhance the user experience in Google Chat over the last year, we’re excited to announce that users can now organize Chat conversations into custom sections. A highly requested feature, custom sections are useful for scenarios in which users want similar conversations about a topic or project to be in the same location in the left-hand menu of Chat.
To make a custom section, go to the direct messages or spaces section in Chat > hover over the three dot menu > select Create new section > name the custom section > hit enter. You can add conversations from a direct message or space to a custom section by:
- Dragging and dropping it in from another section
- Hovering over a conversation > clicking the three dot menu > selecting Move conversation > Move to [Name of the custom section]
Previously the direct messages and spaces sections in the left-hand menu were independent, individually-scrollable lists. With this update, users can navigate specific sections of their conversations by scrolling across all of their sections as one unified conversation list, view top conversations across each section, and find older conversations within each section by expanding via “Show all.”
For each section, users can also:
- Modify the size (height) of each section
- Reorder a section in the left-hand menu based on preference by moving it up or down
- Toggle an unread button ON (or OFF) to instantly find new messages within each section that need their attention
- Start a new direct message or space message from the three dot menu next to the unread toggle
In addition, users will now be able to find their Chat apps more quickly with a new dedicated Apps section.
