The picture on supported devices for the Asus Google Meet says that the Hardware protection screw is empty. To disable protection you need to insert a screw from elsewhere, screw that into the empty spot and turn on the device.
I struggled to find a screw that fit this hole. Turns out it uses the same size as the m.2 WiFi and m.2 ssd retainer screws. However, the head of the screw is not big enough to cover the silver parts around the screw hold to trigger disabling protection.
I used a small washer along with the WiFi screw to increase the size, and that worked.
