Join video conferences on Google Meet hardware via SIP through Pexip

You can now join video conferences on Google Meet hardware via SIP through a Pexip interop gateway. This brings universal connectivity for users to join meetings hosted on any SIP-compatible platform directly from their Meet rooms. The functionality is available for room hardware based on both Android and ChromeOS.

The SIP functionality for Meet hardware enables critical in-meeting interactions, such as DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) capabilities that allow users to navigate meeting IVRs (interactive voice response systems), e.g., “Press 1 to raise your hand” and entering numeric meeting passcodes.

Distinct administrator settings are provided for managing SIP dial-out functionality separately from other Pexip-based integrations.
