Integrate third-party control systems

For large and custom spaces with additional audio visual equipment, it is possible to use third-party control systems with Google Meet hardware. Once integrated, you can use the Meet hardware touchscreen to control room features such as lights, microphones, and speakers.

Configure the third-party controller

Before you begin, configure your third-party controller to manage the meeting room resources.

• Ask your organization’s IT department, network admin, or AV integrator for the controller API and Web UI URLs. 
  • Either a URL or IP address can be entered.  
  • Refer to the controller documentation for more information.
• Use the manufacturer’s documentation to configure your third-party controller.
  For example:
  • QSC

See the controller product documentation for more information.

Note: Private and internal CAs are currently not supported.
