Neat announced Tuesday native support for Google Meet on its room devices, allowing organizations to run Google Meet directly on select Neat hardware. The move brings Neat into the Google Meet hardware ecosystem and expands deployment options for companies standardizing on Google’s collaboration platform.

Google Meet now runs natively on Neat Bar Gen 2 and Neat Bar Pro devices, with support planned for Neat Board 32, Neat Board 50 and Neat Board Pro, including touch functionality. Neat said the devices will continue to be supported through 2033 and will be managed through Neat Center.

Neat devices running Google Meet provide access to the same interface used across Google Meet rooms, including one-tap meeting joins from Google Calendar and Meet links. The company said this allows organizations to deploy consistent meeting experiences across room sizes, from huddle spaces to boardrooms.

Neat said its hardware features, including AI-based video and audio processing, operate alongside Google Meet’s collaboration features. These include support for meeting captions, transcriptions and translations, as well as Google Meet’s Gemini-powered capabilities such as automated note-taking and in-meeting assistance.

“Neat brings unique, AI-powered collaboration devices into the Google Meet hardware ecosystem, providing customers with additional flexibility and choice,” said Mark Ewing, director of product management for Google Meet hardware.

According to Neat, customers using Google Meet on Neat devices also have access to the company’s room features, including Neat Symmetry, Neat Boundary and Neat Focus, which adjust framing and audio behavior based on room activity. The devices run on Android 13 and are designed to support cloud-based management and remote configuration.

Neat positioned the expanded platform support for organizations migrating to Google Meet from other video conferencing platforms, as well as for customers currently using ChromeOS or Android-based room systems. The company said the integration is intended to support deployments across small businesses and large enterprise environments.

Neat said support for Neat Board 32, Neat Board 50 and Neat Board Pro, including touch functionality, is coming soon. Additional details on availability and supported configurations are available through Neat and its channel partners.
