How Do I Get Set Up Chromebox For Meetings?

Here's how to install and set up Hangouts Meet hardware or Chromebox for meetings for your company or group.

Before you begin

If your organization does not use G Suite, you need to verify your organization’s domain name before you install any devices. If you’re not sure if you use G Suite, ask your organization’s IT administrator for help.

Step 1: Read your welcome email

To avoid errors, you need to read the information in your welcome email before you turn on and enroll any devices. 

Your welcome email has information about device licenses and how to access the Google Admin console. You need a device license for each Chromebox you want to enroll. You need at least 2 devices and 2 licenses for Chromebox for meetings to communicate between rooms.

To check how many device licenses you have:

1. In your Google Admin console (at admin.google.com)...

    

   Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using an administrator account.

    
2.  Go to Google meeting room hardware.

   Some features may require having the Google meeting room hardware with Calendar privilege.

   From the Admin console Home page, go to Device Management  Google meeting room hardware.

   To see Device Management, you might have to click More controls at the bottom.

   Some features may require having the Google meeting room hardware with Calendar privilege.

3. Verify the number of licenses in your domain. 
   
   

Step 2: Review requirements

Review the system and service requirements to make sure the room, network, and other components are ready to go.
