When using Google Meet, users can easily expand the Versa Lite CT system with a variety of ClearOne peripherals. The addition of ClearOne’s Bluetooth wall panel enables mobile devices to join the conference wirelessly. Adding the ClearOne Versa HUB enables users to connect a variety of ClearOne UNITE® conferencing cameras and up to two room displays. The HUB enables users to connect all their peripherals to a laptop or room computer via a single USB cable.

To be certified by Google for Google Meet, manufacturers must demonstrate that they have a legitimate long-term commitment to building solutions for Google Meet hardware, sign Google’s Co-Development and Hardware Support Agreements, meet all testing criteria, complete all qualification testing with Google’s approved lab, and receive a passing report.
