What’s changing As previously announced in October , we’re introducing video conferencing device interoperability for Google Meet with Zoom, which will allow you to:
Join Zoom Meetings from Google Meet hardware devices Join Google Meet meetings from Zoom Rooms
Please note that Zoom interoperability supports core video conferencing features. Some advanced features, such as polls, wired present, and dual-screen support may not be available when using Meet hardware to join Zoom Meetings and vice versa.

We hope this latest update makes it even easier for our customers and their users to connect and collaborate with people outside of the Google Meet ecosystem.
Additional details There is no additional cost associated with using this new built-in interoperability feature on supported devices.
Scheduled join and join via meeting code will be supported, as will the ability to configure no-knock joining (lobby bypass) in either direction.
Similar built-in interoperability is already available between
Google Meet and Cisco Webex on each platform’s respective devices. And Pexip continues to enable joining Meet meetings from the widest range of third-party video conferencing hardware, including older devices that may not support built-in interoperability. Use this Help Center article to
learn more about Pexip .
