What should you do?

The company’s ten most senior executives are to have their offices outfitted with dedicated, standardized video conference cameras, microphones, and screens. The goal is to reduce the amount of technical support they require due to frequent, habitual switching between various mobile and PC devices throughout their busy days. You must ensure that it is easier for the executives to join Meet video conferences with the dedicated equipment instead of whatever device they happen to have available.

What should you do?

A. Set up unmanaged Chromeboxes and set the executives’ homepage to meet.google.com via Chrome settings.

B. Set up the executive offices as reservable Calendar Resources, deploy Hangouts Meet Hardware Kits, and associate the Meet hardware with the room calendars.

C. Deploy Hangouts Meet Hardware Kits to each executive office, and associate the Meet hardware with the executives’ calendars.

D. Provision managed Chromeboxes and set the executives’ Chrome homepage to meet. google.com via device policy.

Answer: B

Explanation:

Option B is the most suitable answer because it allows for the integration of hardware specifically designed for Google Meet with the room resources in the calendar. This will enable executives to easily book and use their office space for meetings, with the Meet hardware automatically integrated into the room’s calendar resource, streamlining the process of setting up and joining video conferences.

Let’s look at the other options:

A. Setting up unmanaged Chromeboxes and setting the homepage to meet.google.com doesn’t necessarily streamline the process of joining a meeting as they would still need to manually enter meeting details, and the devices being unmanaged could potentially lead to other issues.

C. Associating the Meet hardware directly with the executives’ calendars might seem like a good idea, but it doesn’t account for the possibility of the executives having meetings outside their offices or needing to book the room for other types of meetings.

D. Provisioning managed Chromeboxes with the homepage set to meet.google.com would streamline the process of getting to the Meet homepage, but like option A, it wouldn’t integrate the hardware setup with the calendar system to streamline the process of scheduling and joining meetings.

So, option B is the best choice for streamlining the process and reducing the amount of technical support needed.
