What do you mean by hangouts equipment? (genuine question, I didn't know they had hardware)
Update: Never mind, I googled it :) very cool. So it's reliable? I'd love to suggest something like this for my organization. We waste the first 10 minutes of every. single. meeting. just getting situated. It's very frustrating.

- tedmiston 10y agoI've had good experiences with the $1k Hangouts boxes [1][2]. At first they felt unnecessary vs just dedicating one person's laptop to a hangout in each meeting, but the 5-10 minutes here and there that they save, the professionalism they bring to team meetings, and the improved audio quality from the dedicated mic makes them worthwhile. I think $1k is a bit steep for what they are hardware-wise, but they're still worth it.

- adrianmacneil 10y agoIf you decide to suggest this, be sure to buy Chromebox _for meetings_. The regular Chromebox cannot be upgraded or converted into a Chromebox for Meetings. This caught me out the first time. https://chromebusinessdevices.withgoogle.com/products/category/chrome-devices-for-meetings https://chromebusinessdevices.withgoogle.com/products/catego...
