How to rotate a Google Meet touch panel screen for wall-mounting
Are you wall-mounting a touch panel in a Google Meet kit? You may have noticed that it does not auto-rotate the display when you put it upside down on the wall for mounting. You will need to rotate the screen manually by going into ChromeOS and adjusting the display settings.
💡 Note: the Logitech Tap IP does auto-rotate when it is used in Google Meet appliance mode. If you are deploying an appliance mode solution (i.e. Logitech Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini or Rally Bar Huddle with a Tap IP), you do not need to make any manual adjustments to the screen orientation.
These instructions apply to the following kits:
- ASUS Small Room
- ASUS Large Room
- Google Meet Series One Medium Room
