Will have to check it out! The company I'm at has more Chrome boxes than rooms, running meetings with Google Hangouts, but everyone hates them. The controllers randomly stop working and only start again if the dongle is unplugged and replugged or the box is rebooted, not to mention tons of other flakey issues the past week or two particularly. Our leadership complains about wasting 5 minutes of every meeting getting the Chrome boxes working.



Humm, maybe depends on which Chrome Box you choose. In my experience they work very well, only needing a reboot every now and then.

The main issue is people not taking care of equipment in shared spaces like meeting rooms. The technology is usually the least of your problems.


This is horribly true. VGA is still the most-likely-to-work interface for presentations. Which is pretty funny when you consider the elaborate signal path including analog on a wire. Must be getting on for 30 years in standard use.
