Overview

The Chromebox is a compact Chrome OS desktop that provides a reliable and manageable platform for meeting room displays. Like all Chrome OS devices, Chromeboxes support kiosk mode and can be managed centrally through the Google Admin console.

The Chromebox connects to any TV or monitor via HDMI and supports the Meeting Room 365 Chrome Web Store extensions for both signage and TV display modes. Its desktop form factor provides better performance and connectivity options compared to Chromebits and sticks.
