But that’s changing today with the new companion mode check-in feature in Google Meet. If you’re joining a meeting from a conference room, you can use companion mode on your personal device to check in to that specific room. Room check-in allows everyone on the call to easily identify who is in the conference room, rather than simply seeing the conference room name.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwLpuNtGLKcV4BaoC8EW9JCrdxLeY6ksaBqm5vfB08dbiewGe95tjFoQc4plV6Kk1avq2vglXeccTfBQWD8AnQifOKd4puR-DXsKvT3ecpiqB45igBeUtU2WpM4YfIe7ihLZz7taqnYVChEXzmGyKmPS-7Bj6QncTIykOxnVRk-ExrIxYuYSoi-jiYwJE/s1113/new1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="695" data-original-width="1113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwLpuNtGLKcV4BaoC8EW9JCrdxLeY6ksaBqm5vfB08dbiewGe95tjFoQc4plV6Kk1avq2vglXeccTfBQWD8AnQifOKd4puR-DXsKvT3ecpiqB45igBeUtU2WpM4YfIe7ihLZz7taqnYVChEXzmGyKmPS-7Bj6QncTIykOxnVRk-ExrIxYuYSoi-jiYwJE/s16000/new1.gif" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">You’ll be prompted to check into a room after joining companion mode on your personal device.</span></i></div></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-bda55cc5-7fff-d3e6-814c-79243bf49d90"><div align="center" dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiZkLq7CXYC2amEG19LLuVJLKR_6uEbQBXMsoTRB8wsrpq_sq5C3aluJNIAX2-AuqJW9Hkn4s7H7Bk_0cTYc582mGGZE5jcXyxg2Jf78hTyan-PjsU-HFS-_6YWml3EjVvmn0TA6fc-qJEQ-Jug22stnQIKulfDusWGxdxUiHZImJfvahDo5gbn3wK_BA/s640/2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiZkLq7CXYC2amEG19LLuVJLKR_6uEbQBXMsoTRB8wsrpq_sq5C3aluJNIAX2-AuqJW9Hkn4s7H7Bk_0cTYc582mGGZE5jcXyxg2Jf78hTyan-PjsU-HFS-_6YWml3EjVvmn0TA6fc-qJEQ-Jug22stnQIKulfDusWGxdxUiHZImJfvahDo5gbn3wK_BA/s16000/2.gif" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Checked-in participants will appear under the conference room </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRYGOB4HCIRQ6bkfeShb17o8cZVlLsXMU6L9VI0UCIsM-ckkNPMomw_FSApl8jz_tT2CHnZCKnO4aiCWfU02EXE99Nz29K6uujsZsQav-pCectyCTAAfPcRCH7MzkDazfUXnxUVaWj3BcQrjCwIiak2g5Zsq2tDJ1HcynbUebZKkYK1eJk0xztmC-wpr0/s1600/new2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRYGOB4HCIRQ6bkfeShb17o8cZVlLsXMU6L9VI0UCIsM-ckkNPMomw_FSApl8jz_tT2CHnZCKnO4aiCWfU02EXE99Nz29K6uujsZsQav-pCectyCTAAfPcRCH7MzkDazfUXnxUVaWj3BcQrjCwIiak2g5Zsq2tDJ1HcynbUebZKkYK1eJk0xztmC-wpr0/s16000/new2.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Checked-in participants will be grouped under the conference room in the people panel</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div><br /></div></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></span></div><div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Room check-in will be available by default, but admins can turn this feature off for specific Meet hardware devices or specific users.
