Occupancy counting now available for Google Meet on Logitech

Occupancy counting now available for Google Meet on Logitech room hardware

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.

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.

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.

Getting started

Admins: This feature will be off by default and can be enabled at the domain, organizational unit (OU), or group level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning on occupancy detection.
End users: There is no end-user setting for this feature.

Review room booking and occupancy in the Admin console

Google has officially expanded its native occupancy counting feature for Google Meet to Android-based Logitech Gen 2 room hardware. [1, 2]

This update brings the same room-utilization tracking previously available on ChromeOS systems over to Logitech’s Android (AOSP) ecosystem, helping organizations analyze space usage, optimize real estate, and make data-driven decisions about room design. [1, 2]

Core Details & Device Support

Initial Coverage: The feature is initially rolling out for Logitech Gen 2 hardware, starting with the Logitech Rally Board 65.
Future Rollouts: Google plans to add support for earlier Gen 1 Logitech hardware next year via an upcoming CollabOS firmware update.
Admin Control: The feature is off by default. IT admins can enable it at the domain, organizational unit, or group level within the Google Admin Console. There are no end-user controls. [1, 3, 4]

Privacy & Data Metrics

Privacy First: The tool does not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII). Camera images are analyzed entirely locally on the device using a machine learning model, reporting only headcount statistics. [1, 3, 5]
Available Metrics: Admins can review room data directly in the Google Admin panel or export it as a spreadsheet. Reports include the total number of bookings, overall occupancy rates (identifying underuse or overuse), maximum headcount, and average time spent in the room. [1, 2, 5]
