New Google Meet Hardware Admin console features: peripheral status, default volume, and static URLs

We’re adding three new features to the Google Meet Hardware section of the Admin console: 

In addition to the “Device status” column on the Device list page, we’ve added columns for connection status and peripheral status. These new columns will help you filter your device list in order to easily discover and troubleshoot issues, and identify devices with missing peripherals. 

Additionally, there is a new column management widget which you can use to quickly create customized views and sort through your devices faster. 

There are two new options for setting the default volume behavior on Meet Hardware devices: 

The default volume behavior for a single device can be set on its Device detail page. For a group of devices, use the bulk action option from the Device list page. 

Note that end users can still modify the volume on a device according to their preference regardless of the default volume selection. 

Device list filters will now be uniquely encoded into the page’s URL. This makes it easy for admins who are responsible for specific organizational units or devices to bookmark a customized view or share it among team members.
