Live stream Google Meet events via YouTube

What’s changing

Once enabled by an Admin, Google Workspace users can live stream meetings publicly via YouTube. 



You can initiate a live stream in Meet by navigating to Activities panel > Live Streaming and selecting your channel from the list.




Who’s impacted

Admins and end users


Why you’d use it

Live streaming is useful in situations where you want to present information to large audiences outside of your organization, giving them the opportunity to pause and replay as needed, or view the presentation at a later time.


Additional Details

To initiate a YouTube live stream through Meet you should have your YouTube channel approved for live streaming in advance. Note that it can take up to 24 hours to get your channel approved for live streaming — Visit the Help Center to learn more about live streaming Google Meet events
