Android users will be disappointed.
Disappointed in the lack of attention given to Android users on a Chrome-based device. The Android app is severely lacking in features compared to Apple and there's no ability to use this giant screen as a Chromecast target (but you can use AirPlay for some inexplicable reason). Android app's QR-code login doesn't recognize the QR codes. When you try to download the Android apps, both QR codes take you to the Apple store (instead of one taking you to the Play store). The web-based casting (vibe.run) is okay at best but doesn't appear to transmit audio. Users have to manually type their Google login credentials (and do 2-factor) every time they want to use the board, which is incredibly tedious for something designed to allow for quick meetings and collaboration. The Google Workspace apps don't integrate with the login to the board, so you have to log in to Google accounts to use the board... then to use Meet... then to use Calendar... and so on. We bought several of these instead of Surface Hubs because we're a Chrome/Google Meet/Google Workspace/Classroom shop and we're already severely regretting the decision. Video quality is fine, build quality is fine, but the ecosystem isn't fully developed and is leaving us with serious holes in functionality. Other than the ability to annotate with the pen, I'm not sure why I didn't just buy some nice TVs and Chromecasts.

Hi Dustin, Thank you for your feedback on this. Customer feedback is how we improve our products and customer experience. Currently we are live with our iOS app and the android app is scheduled to be released later in the year. We hope to have the same features in our android app that are currently in our iOS application. You do have to sign on initially in your profile to access all of your Google Workspace applications, but your profile will remember those logins for future use, so after the initial setup, this should be much easier. If you would like to schedule an appointment with one of us, please email our helpdesk anytime and we would be happy to go over some of this with you at [email protected]. Have a great day and thank you for being a Vibe Customer! Ruth Petty Vibe Technical Support vibe.us
