Why Google Meet’s AOSP Future Is Great News for Neat Customers

Gerard Bao, Sep 8, 2026

Google is making Android the future of Google Meet room hardware. Neat already brings Android to spaces of every size.

Google recently announced that it will transition its Google Meet hardware portfolio from ChromeOS to Android (AOSP). The move will help Google deliver features faster, broaden device choice, and give organizations greater flexibility in how they equip their meeting spaces.

For Neat, this direction feels very familiar. We’ve built our video devices on Android from the beginning.

More flexibility for every space

Today, Neat offers the largest portfolio of Android-based hardware for Google Meet rooms, spanning workplaces from focus and huddle spaces to medium and large meeting rooms. Google also recently recognized Neat with its 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Award for Google Workspace: Innovation.

From our Neat Bar devices and Neat Board family to Neat Center for larger spaces, our portfolio spans intelligent, purpose-built video hardware, room controllers, and companion devices. That means organizations can create a consistent Google Meet experience across different spaces while choosing the Neat devices that best fit each room.

Better yet, Android expands that choice even further. Google says Android will enable a broader range of meeting room form factors, from compact all-in-one devices and video bars to integrated room systems, along with longer, more predictable device lifecycles. For Neat customers, that creates greater freedom to adapt their meeting spaces as requirements change.

Beyond hardware choice

By focusing its Google Meet room strategy on Android, Google can deliver new capabilities and AI-powered experiences such as Take notes for me to meeting rooms faster. Neat can also continue expanding its range of certified Android devices to support different spaces and ways of meeting.

If you’re already using Neat, Google’s move reinforces the Android foundation you’ve already invested in, giving you the flexibility to keep building on it.
