How to set up and enroll Google Meet hardware

To set up Google Meet hardware, a Google Workspace admin creates a calendar resource for the room, makes sure Meet hardware licenses are available, then powers on the device and enrolls it by signing in with a Workspace account that has enrollment rights. After enrollment, you assign the device to the room's calendar resource in the Admin console, so the room's schedule appears on the touch controller and people can join with one tap.

What you need

Item	Notes
Google Workspace admin access	To create resources and manage devices
Google Meet hardware license	One annual license per room device. Check current pricing with Google or a reseller. See Google Meet hardware license.
Certified Meet hardware	Such as Logitech Rally Bar Huddle + Tap IP or Neat Bar Gen 2. See certified hardware.
Wired network	Ethernet with internet access and Meet ports open
Display	Connected by HDMI

Step 1: Create the room in Google Calendar

Rooms are calendar resources. In the Google Admin console:

1. Go to Directory > Buildings and resources > Manage resources.
2. Add a building if you haven't already. Buildings help people find rooms.
3. Add a resource. Set the type (for example, Conference room), name, capacity, floor and features such as "video conferencing."
4. Save. The room now shows up in Google Calendar's room finder.

Users then book the room by adding it to a Calendar event under Rooms.

Step 2: Unbox and connect the hardware

1. Mount the video bar and display. See video bar mounting.
2. Connect the display by HDMI.
3. Connect Ethernet. Touch controllers like the Logitech Tap IP and Neat Pad Gen 2 use PoE.
4. Pair the controller with the bar following the manufacturer's guide.
5. Power on.

Step 3: Enroll the device

On first boot, the device prompts you to choose Google Meet (on multi-platform devices) and enroll it.

1. Select Google Meet as the platform if prompted.
2. Follow the on-screen enrollment and sign in with a Workspace account that has permission to enroll devices. Choose the organizational unit if asked.
3. Wait for the device to download updates. This can take a while on first setup.
4. Enrolled devices appear in the Admin console under Devices > Google Meet hardware.

Step 4: Assign the room calendar

1. In the Admin console, go to Devices > Google Meet hardware.
2. Select the device.
3. Assign it to the calendar resource you created in Step 1.
4. The touch controller now shows the room's upcoming meetings.

Step 5: Configure settings

Device settings are managed in the Admin console, per device or per organizational unit. Common settings include:

• Device name and location
• Calendar assignment
• Feedback and diagnostics
• Interop with other platforms (joining Zoom or Teams meetings). See Meet hardware interop.
• Update and reboot schedule. See Meet hardware updates.

Check the Admin console for the current list of settings, which Google updates over time.

Step 6: Test the room

Test	How
Camera	Start an instant meeting and check framing from every seat
Mics	Have a remote person listen while people speak from far seats
Speakers	Play audio at normal volume; check for echo
Calendar	Book the room, confirm the meeting appears on the controller
Join	Tap to join a scheduled meeting
Content sharing	Present from a laptop

The Admin console also shows device and peripheral health after the test. More in test your video conferencing system.

Managing Meet hardware

From Devices > Google Meet hardware you can see device status, issues, firmware versions and peripheral health, and remotely reboot devices. See Google Meet hardware and Meet hardware kits. If a device won't enroll, see Meet hardware reset.

Common setup problems

• Device won't enroll. Check network access, the admin account and that a license is available.
• No calendar on the controller. Confirm the device is assigned to the right resource.
• Controller won't pair. Both devices must be on the same network or connected per the manufacturer's guide.
