Between Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, there is no longer any need for a third‑party gateway.
Until now, to participate in Teams meetings on Meet hardware running ChromeOS or Android, Google recommended using Pexip Connect. The integration has been available since October 2025, on all paid editions of Google Workspace, as well as on G Suite Basic and Business.
Pexip Connect also works the other way, enabling Windows‑based Teams Rooms devices to join Meet meetings — not yet on Android — provided you hold a Teams Rooms Basic or Pro license.
Android hardware is not involved
The connection can now be made directly… to some extent.
On the Meet hardware side, only ChromeOS devices are supported. That is, essentially, Asus and Lenovo kits.
On the Teams Rooms side, the Windows catalog remains. It includes configurations based on PCs from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Intel NUC. It also features equipment from brands such as Crestron, Logitech and Yealink, in addition to Surface Hub 3 and 2S.
To take advantage of this interoperability, you still need both a paid Google Workspace plan and a Teams Rooms license.
Sous-titrage, chat, double écran… Un Teams « diminué » sur les appareils Meet
On the Google Workspace side, rollout to the admin interface began on February 3. For end users, it will take effect starting February 16. The interoperability will be enabled by default. It can be disabled at the organizational unit level.
As things stand, certain Teams features are not accessible on Meet hardware. Notably dual‑screen support, captions, and sending chat messages during a meeting — elements that are not available with Webex and Zoom integrations either.
To schedule a meeting, you create an event in Google Calendar with the necessary info, then add a room using Meet hardware. To join one, it’s either via the device’s saved list or via the meeting ID.
De la configuration à faire sur Exchange
On the Teams Rooms side, the integration is active. To join a meeting, you access the event in Google Calendar and select “Other ways to participate > Third‑party systems”.
Two connection methods are offered: SIP protocol (via the CVI interface) and WebRTC (Direct Guest Join). The second option does not require an additional license, but is more limited (no HDMI content sharing, video limited to 720p…). Neither option allows, among other things, sending reactions, viewing transcripts or interacting on the whiteboard.
In all cases, you must authorize Teams Rooms devices to participate in third‑party meetings. Either locally, in the Teams Pro management portal, or via the SkypeSettings.xml file.
Exchange must also be allowed to handle third‑party meetings and external invitations. It may also be necessary to add an exception to URL filtering tools to prevent URL rewriting.
