How to update Google Meet hardware devices

Problem

How can you update Google Meet hardware devices?

Environment

  • Google Meet hardware device
  • Chrome device

Solution

Google Meet hardware devices will be updated automatically when there is a new version available. You may have also noticed that some Google Meet devices have an older version of ChromeOS.

This happens since this is the best stable version for those specific devices that are always a few versions behind as the Product team needs to make sure that the Google Meet devices will not be affected by any issues on newer versions.

For reference, you can refer to the Google Meet hardware auto-update policy.

Cause

Google Meet devices versions are always a few versions behind to make sure that they are stable. In case that there is a new version that will be available, they will automatically update on their own.
