In-room bookings with Google Meet hardware

You can configure your conference room calendars to allow users to book meetings directly from associated Google Meet hardware devices. This action is only available when the room calendar is free and can be done to the nearest half-hour or hour (up to 30 min or 60 min duration). This will create a meeting on the room calendar and prevent other users from booking that same room from Google Calendar. You can remove an in-room booking from the device by tapping the before Remove button after the booking has been created.

Configure in-room bookings from the Admin console

This feature is controlled by a global room setting toggle, and then rooms can be opted out at the individual room level.
