Google Meet is now available on Logitech Android appliances

What’s changing 

Google Meet is now supported on Logitech’s Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini Android-based appliances for collaboration rooms and spaces of just about any size. After initial setup, admins can easily enroll, manage, and monitor these devices using the Google admin console. Google Meet on Logitech Android-based devices is supported on CollabOS v1.11 as a video conferencing provider. The following Logitech Android devices now support Google Meet: 
  • Logitech Rally Bar 
  • Logitech Rally Bar Mini
  • Tap IP


Additional details

As part of this launch, we are also providing admins with a new capability to protect their room devices using a passcode. This ensures that only authorized users are able to access and change the room’s device settings. This feature is only available for Logitech Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini in appliance mode, where Rally Bar’s built-in computer supports Google Meet without the need for an additional computer or a user’s laptop. Visit the Help Center to learn more about setting up Logitech devices as Meet Hardware and enrolling your devices.

Getting started

  • Admins: 
    • Logitech Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini appliances will need to be updated to CollabOS 1.11 in order to select Google Meet as the conferencing partner application. 
    • Once the device is updated to CollabOS 1.11 and the conferencing partner is set to Google Meet, follow the on-device prompts to enroll the device onto the Google Meet hardware admin console. Visit the Help Center to learn more about setting up Logitech devices as Meet Hardware.
    • Google Meet on Logitech Android appliances require Google Meet hardware licenses, please reach out to a Google Meet hardware reseller. 

  • End users: No action required. Once a Logitech Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini have been successfully enrolled, you can join Google Meet meetings normally.

Rollout pace

  • This update is available as part of Logitech’s CollabOS 1.11 release. For more information, please reach out to your Logitech account team or reseller.
