Occupancy counting now available for Google Meet on Logitech room hardware

<p>Occupancy counting is now available for Android-based Logitech Gen 2 room hardware (starting with Logitech Rally Board 65) to help measure how meeting rooms are used. This feature brings the same occupancy counting capabilities found on ChromeOS devices to Android-based hardware. Support for occupancy counting will be added next year for earlier Gen 1 devices later as part of an upcoming CollabOS update.</p><p>Understanding room occupancy helps organizations optimize real estate and room design based on user needs. For instance, organizations can track if rooms with older video hardware are being avoided in favor of rooms equipped with better tracking cameras and audio bars.</p><p>Admins can review occupancy data in the Google Admin console and optionally download it as a spreadsheet. This feature does not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII). Because occupancy detection processes data locally on the device, the camera LED indicator may remain off during counting depending on the hardware vendor. Refer to vendor documentation for device-specific information.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYbyzYkitl6WYfIsKVdnGK9M8Ts6aiyzAlN1gesQII4jhXwuLX9ubiT74Yp6lmhGyQNBWRlvSMhUrTw8zezNWH8-Ql4M3cIMlaSM2iB2de7tZ9WHU_jmezXujHPRr5V0fHoL_F6toGBItV97LlOsbhibZ51pRjVSrhw11YY6RgHWFPKzXijdbKfFQjmP8/s1554/Occupancy%20counting%20now%20available%20for%20Google%20Meet%20on%20Logitech%20room%20hardware%20-%207242.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="961" data-original-width="1554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYbyzYkitl6WYfIsKVdnGK9M8Ts6aiyzAlN1gesQII4jhXwuLX9ubiT74Yp6lmhGyQNBWRlvSMhUrTw8zezNWH8-Ql4M3cIMlaSM2iB2de7tZ9WHU_jmezXujHPRr5V0fHoL_F6toGBItV97LlOsbhibZ51pRjVSrhw11YY6RgHWFPKzXijdbKfFQjmP8/s1600/Occupancy%20counting%20now%20available%20for%20Google%20Meet%20on%20Logitech%20room%20hardware%20-%207242.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />Review room booking and occupancy in the Admin console</td></tr></tbody></table><h3 style="text-align: left;">Getting started</h3><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Admins: </b>This feature will be off by default and can be enabled at the domain, organizational unit (OU), or group level.
