New Device ID for Google Meet hardware

March 9, 2026

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.
