Google introduces new Chromebox for meetings hardware aimed at larger companies

Google has scaled Chromebox for meetings, introducing new hardware that will better support larger groups of people who need to hold remote meetings.

A new 1080p pan-tilt-zoom camera can cover more area to help large groups chatting see one another better, while a new bi-directional microphone and speaker will make sure everyone is heard.

Chromebox for meetings users can also hook two monitors up to the hardware, and share their screens in full-screen mode. On the back-end, administrators have more control over monitoring and deploying hardware, as well as more granular control over whom to give administrative powers.

The new hardware doesn’t come cheap, though. At $1,999, it’s an expensive office communication solution, but may be a good option for larger companies with bigger remote teams.
