Pexip is widely recognized as the global leader for video device and meeting platform interoperability. For more than seven years, Pexip has been a trusted interoperability partner for Google Meet, ensuring that participants can use their legacy meeting room systems to join Google Meet calls. Today, that relationship expands with the announcement of Pexip Connect for Google Meet hardware – which will enable Google Meet hardware to seamlessly join Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Webex meetings.
Organizations embrace Google Meet
Countless organizations globally rely on Google Meet for their video meetings. Google provides easy-to-use, high-quality collaboration from its purpose-built Google Meet hardware for rooms, interactive digital whiteboards, and personal use devices. Connecting to Meet meetings is simple, quick, and effortless.
Goodbye, roadblocks!
However, until now, organizations couldn't join Teams meetings and faced challenges joining Zoom and Webex meetings from Google Meet hardware. When an inevitable meeting invite was received for a Microsoft Teams meeting, users were stuck. They’d need to download apps or join via web browser instead of using their purpose-built devices.
Google and Pexip decided it was time to change that. Now, joining a third-party meeting will be as simple as pressing a button on your Google Meet equipment.
The features you expect
Not only will Pexip enable joining third-party meetings from your Google Meet hardware devices, but you’ll also get a greatly enhanced experience in those meetings:
- Dual-screen support – In rooms with two displays, users will now see people and content on both screens. No more blank screens or questions about screens that seem to not work.
- HDMI presentation capabilities – Share content from your laptop for more interactive collaboration – just like you expect in any meeting.
It’s all as-a-service, making it easy to get started
Pexip Connect for Google Meet hardware will be available as a service. You don’t need to buy new hardware. You will only need to update your current devices’ firmware and apply the appropriate configuration in the Google Admin console. Third-party meeting capabilities become instantly available across all your devices organization-wide – seamlessly integrated into the well-known user interface, with no additional training required for users. Simply add the device to the meeting invite and join the way you are used to.
