Coming soon: A refreshed user interface for Google Meet hardware touch controllers, test it now in preview
What’s changing
In the coming weeks, we will be introducing an updated user interface for the Mimo Vue HD, Mimo Mist, Logitech Tap, Logitech Tap IP and Lenovo Series One Touch controllers.
To explore this upcoming feature, we encourage Admins to change the feature preview setting to enable Early preview for their devices. This will give admins time to prepare for the change, and end users to become familiar with the new design. See the “Additional details” section below for more information.
Overall, the design allows users to concentrate on their meetings rather than searching for controls, resulting in a more efficient and aesthetically pleasing experience. Here’s what you can expect:
- Simplified Access to Key Controls: the controls you use most frequently, like mute and hand raise, are more prominent and easily accessible, helping you cut down on time searching for features and more time focusing on your meeting.
- Intuitively Organized Features:
- In-meeting experience: If you need to access more advanced features, like camera controls or the meeting layout, you can find them under the “More actions” menu. This keeps the main interface clean while ensuring less frequently used features are still readily accessible.
- Pre-call experience: You’ll also notice a refresh for the pre-call meeting UI, which prominently features the option to enter a meeting code or nickname, and a drop-down menu for Webex or Zoom meetings.
- A Familiar Interface: The touch controller UI will now look and feel similar to the Google Meet UI as seen on Laptop & Desktop devices, which will help navigating the menu more intuitively.

More information about Early Preview Rooms
We highly recommend joining our Early Preview Rooms (EPR), beginning August 18th, 2025, to help your organization get ready for this change.
Enrolling devices into EPR allows you to:
- Test: Experience the new UI firsthand on select devices in your environment
- Prepare: Use the preview period (approximately 4-6 weeks) to update your internal training documents, support resources, and end-user communications
- Provide feedback: Share your feedback to help us refine the experience before general availability
How to participate:
- Admins can opt-in select devices to the Early Preview Rooms program via the Google Admin console under Devices > Google Meet hardware > Device Settings > Feature Preview > Select Early Preview. Learn more
- Detailed instructions and more information about the EPR and refreshed UI can be found in our Help Center.
- We suggest that no more than 10% of your Fleet is opted into Early Preview Rooms. We encourage you to enroll devices soon after the EPR program begins on August 18th 2025 to maximize the preparation time before the transition later this year.
