On your PC, install the latest version of Q-SYS Designer Software (v9.4 or later). Go to Tools > Show Asset Manager and search
for Google. Install the Google Meet Sample Design and then go to File > Open Sample Design and open the Google Meet
Sample Design. Once open, select Tools from the ribbon and select Show Configurator. This will open Q-SYS Configurator and
you will see your Q-SYS Core processor listed on the left pane of the window. Choose your Q-SYS Core processor and click on the
Configuration Page link to open Q-SYS Core Manager > Network Settings. Review/configure the Q-SYS Core’s network settings.
For more information, see Initial Discovery and Configuration. Set the name of the Q-SYS Core to a unique name that suits your
needs. Return to the design file and ensure that the Q-SYS Core’s name in your design matches the Hostname you just set in Q-SYS
Core Manager. Save the design to the Q-SYS Core and Run (F5). See About Designs on the Core.
If the Q-SYS Core’s firmware does not match that of Q-SYS Designer on your configuration laptop, you will be prompted to update
the firmware. Refer to Updating Q-SYS Software and Firmware.
Before you start this step, you will need to have your Google Meet Compute connected to the network and to the Q-SYS Core as
shown in the drawing earlier in this guide. Refer to your network administrator and the Google Meet Deployment Overview for
details on getting your Google Meet compute running.
To set the Q-SYS Core as the default microphone and speakers for Google Meet click on the Settings icon and navigate to the Audio
tab. Select “Echo Cancelling Speakerphone” for both microphone and speaker. If you are using Q-SYS network cameras, navigate
to the Video tab and select the Q-SYS Core or peripheral as your camera.
1. Install Q-SYS Designer Software
2. Configuring the Google Meet Compute
The Google Meet Sample Design, available in Q-SYS
Asset Manager, offers a step-by-step guide on how
to properly connect Q-SYS with a Google Meet
compute device. It includes QSC’s best practices for
audio signal flow with Google Meet. It also includes a
companion application UCI, which takes you through
commissioning your Google Meet system, step-by-
step. Ensure that your mobile device is connected to
the same network as the Q-SYS Core and use the QR
Code in the Sample Design to launch the app.
