Google Meet hardware devices now support HTTPS certificates signed by private certificate authorities.

Google Meet hardware devices can now trust HTTPS certificates signed by a private certificate authority (CA), simplifying the setup and management of third-party user control interfaces (UCIs), such as Q-SYS. Previously, administrators were required to use certificates signed by a public CA, which was often expensive and time-consuming. This update allows for greater network security control and eliminates the costs associated with public certificate signing.
