Google Meetings can be now livestreamed on YouTube

Google is releasing a feature that will allow Google Meetings to be live-streamed on YouTube, making it easier for viewers to join in.

Workplace admins can opt for public streaming for business accounts they manage.

The feature is available for Workplace accounts like Enterprise, Education Plus, Teaching and Learning upgrade and Workplace individual subscribers.

For Google premium subscribers, the feature is available in certain countries. Users with starter, basic, legacy or essentials packages won’t have access to the YouTube live stream.

To live stream a Google Meet session on YouTube, users will have to obtain an approval request in advance for the media channel from YouTube.

Approvals can take up to 24 hours to be approved. Users can also change the length of live streams and can get information on how to keep it going from the Google Support Page.

Just this year, Google also announced its merger with Google Duo as a single platform for voice and video calls. The company also introduced a feature for teachers in June 2021 that allowed them to stream events like school board meetings on YouTube.
