Google Beam expands with new regions, partners, and customers

We’re expanding Google Beam to five new countries, partnering with Industrious for an extended network, and proving our impact at Google and beyond. Google Beam is expanding its global reach to six countries, supported by 18 partners and new hardware from HP.

Internal testing shows the technology improves team connection and reduces the need for follow-up meetings. Starting in October, you can book and test these units at select Industrious locations to see how they enhance your own professional meetings. Google Beam uses special hardware to make video calls feel like you’re actually in the room with someone. It’s expanding to more countries and partnering with workspaces so more people can use it for meetings and interviews. Tests show that using this tech helps people feel more connected and makes communication much clearer. Now, businesses of all sizes can book these setups to make their remote chats feel more natural. Since its early days, Google Beam has been driven by a singular vision: bringing people together so they can experience genuine, face-to-face connection, no matter the distance. We’ve tested Beam with early users, including in our own offices, and shown how it can help transform everyday meetings into authentic moments of connection. Today, we’re announcing a major expansion of our global footprint, new data on our proven impact, and the launch of our first-ever extended network. We are officially expanding our global reach, with Google Beam units shipping to customers across six countries, including the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Germany, and Japan. Backing this rollout is a robust, global ecosystem of 18 channel partners who are fully equipped to deploy and support Beam. Delivered by our flagship hardware partner as HP Dimension with Google Beam, this experience is built for modern enterprise collaboration. By integrating seamlessly with both Google Meet and Zoom, Beam can provide the flexibility organizations need while helping to elevate everyday conversations. Through extensive internal testing at Google, we’ve learned how transformative Beam can be for areas like recruiting, talent development, and cross-functional collaboration. In a recent eight-week internal study, Google teams using Beam felt 50% more connected to one another, found it 33% easier to ensure their feedback was clearly understood, and saw a 21% drop in the need for follow-up meetings.
