Welcome to Google Meet hardware
Email subject line: Welcome to Google Meet hardware!
The [your company name] IT team would like to tell you about an exciting opportunity—communicating and collaborating with your colleagues using Google Meet hardware! We are currently installing this solution in our conference rooms and want to let you know about the exciting features and possibilities.
What is Google Meet hardware? Google Meet hardware converts a traditional conference room into a video conferencing room. You can use the room system to create video meetings with other rooms and people connecting from their laptops or mobile devices. Because strong communication is much more than just talking, video meetings give you the chance to see colleagues’ reactions, gauge their non-verbals, and work together on projects.
Where is Google Meet hardware available? We’ve set up Google Meet hardware in these rooms:
[room1]
[room2]
[room3]
[room4]
You can now use one of these rooms to create meetings with other rooms in the list. From a laptop or mobile device, you can use Google Meet hardware to join video meetings with these rooms.
How do I use Google Meet hardware in these rooms? Google Meet hardware is easy to use. There is a table mat in each room that goes over the basics.
Where can I get more information about Google Meet hardware features?
Contact your system administrator or internal support help center. [Insert your organization’s help center contact info here]
Does this feature impact any of my other Google Workspace apps?
A small change will appear in your Google Calendar: you can now choose your meeting names. Just click Google Meet in Google Calendar. Google Calendar will suggest names, but meeting organizers can edit the name of the meeting. Joining a video meeting is still the same: you just click Join with Google Meet. But now you can enter the meeting name into a Google Meet hardware device to join from a room or, in a web browser, type https://meet.google.com/ and enter the meeting name.
How can I send feedback about Google Meet hardware?
Because we’re in a test period, you might encounter a few glitches or issues. If you do, please let our IT support person know. We want to make sure that Google hears your feedback!
Posters
Hang these posters in your meeting spaces and conference rooms. Let users know video conferencing is available and how to get started.
