New Device ID for Google Meet hardware

We’re replacing the current Device ID (“Legacy ID”) for Google Meet hardware devices with a new Device ID. This new Device ID will be displayed everywhere you currently see the Legacy ID throughout the Google Admin console:

  • The device list, details, history, and videocalling pages (Admin console > Devices > Google Meet hardware)
  • All device-keyed URLs in the Admin console
  • Audit logs and BigQuery exports
  • Bulk upload and download features
  • Device ID filter in Meet quality tool (Admin console > Apps > Google Workspace > Settings for Google Meet > Meet quality tool)

Additional details
  • Bulk Updates: Bulk updating device settings by uploading a file on the device list page will require the new Device ID.
  • Audit Logs: Audit logs (Admin console > Reporting > Audit and investigation) and their BigQuery exports will use the new Device ID for all entries going forward. Existing audit logs created before this change will not be modified.
  • Transitioning to the new ID:
    • During the rollout, you may see different IDs for the same device in different locations
    • For the next 6 months after the rollout, you can use either ID in URLs, bulk uploads, the device list page, and the Meet Quality Tool. The Legacy ID will no longer be supported 6 months after the rollout is complete.
