Google makes Meet and Teams meeting room devices interoperable
By Automate Basics, written with AI from Google's original
Google has made meeting access between Google Meet hardware and Microsoft Teams Rooms devices generally available on compatible Android-based equipment. Workplaces can use those room devices to join meetings hosted on the other service.
What changed
Google says its meeting room interoperability with Microsoft Teams is now generally available after a preview period. Google Meet hardware based on Android (AOSP) can join Microsoft Teams meetings. Microsoft Teams Rooms devices based on Android (AOSP) can join Google Meet meetings.
The change concerns meeting room devices, not a new way to run Meet or Teams on a personal computer. For a workplace that uses one service internally but receives invitations from the other, the practical benefit is being able to use a compatible room device for those meetings. Google says the full rollout begins on October 1, 2026, for both Rapid and Scheduled Release domains, with feature visibility expected within one to three days.
Who can use Google Meet and Teams room interoperability?
Google says the feature is available to all Google Workspace customers with Google Meet hardware running Android (AOSP). The announcement also says Android (AOSP)-based Microsoft Teams Rooms devices can join Google Meet meetings. It does not spell out eligibility requirements for Teams Rooms customers, so organizations using those devices should not assume the Workspace availability statement covers their setup.
Google gives no price for this interoperability and does not say whether any additional purchase is required. The hardware requirement matters more than the name of the meeting service: a room equipped with other types of devices is not covered by the compatibility described in the announcement.
How do I try it at work?
Google points administrators to its guidance on allowing Meet hardware to join third-party video meetings, and points end users to guidance on joining Teams meetings from Meet hardware. If your workplace has a compatible room device, ask the person who manages it whether cross-service meetings are allowed before relying on the room for an important call.
A useful first check is a routine meeting hosted on the other service. Confirm that the room device joins and that people in the room can hear and be heard. Google’s announcement establishes the ability to join meetings, but it does not describe how every meeting feature behaves across the two systems. Keep another way to attend available until your workplace has checked its own equipment.

Does this work in the other direction, from Teams Rooms to Meet?
