Google adds voice control to Meet hardware kits

To make meetings more seamless, all G Suite users can now simply say “Hey Google” to take action on a Google Meet hardware kit. This feature was previously available in beta on ASUS Google Meet hardware kits. It’s now generally available on those same ASUS devices, as well as on Logitech meeting room kits.

With this new feature, you can say “Hey Google” to join and leave video meetings, dial a phone number, and more. For example, try saying, “Hey Google, join my next meeting” to get started, hands-free.

Voice control with Google Meet hardware can:

• Streamline the in-meeting room experience by enabling touch-free join, exit and dialing functionality.
• Increase accessibility by making it easier to activate spoken feedback.

This voice control is OFF by default and can be enabled at the domain level. End users can disable this feature in the meeting room using the touch screen. Visit the Help Center to learn more about voice control for Google Meet hardware kits.
