HIGHLIGHTS

Google Meet can be live-streamed on YouTube.

The Google Meet feature comes with some protective measures.

Let’s see how to live stream Google Meet meetings on YouTube.

If you are a Google Meet Enterprise, Workplace, or broadly a premium user, then you will now be able to live stream the meeting to YouTube. It is not available to regular users with the basic tier. But, even with the paid plan, there are some hoops you have to go through to access the feature. 

Let’s see what that is and how to do the whole stream setup.

Google Meet On YouTube: How It Works

Google Meet Live Streaming On YouTube: Prerequisites

First of all, you need to have any of the following Google Meet plans:

  • Enterprise 
  • Workplace Individual 
  • Education Plus Teaching and Learning upgrade
  • Google One Premium

Next up, the administrator of the account will have to submit a request, and Google will take about 24 hours to assess your request and approve if it finds you are good to go.

Once your request to live stream is approved, there are two ways to go about it:

  • When host management is on, only the host and co-hosts can live-stream the meeting. 
  • When host management is off, anyone present in the meeting can live stream. 

Within the Google Meet Privacy settings, you can choose the duration of the live streams and other options. 

  • Now, when you are in a Google Meet call, click on Activities in the bottom right corner.
  • Tap on Live streaming and click on Stream with YouTube.
  • In the “Event Info” page that shows up, you have to select an event or create a new event. If you go with creation, you’ll have to enter details like Event title, Privacy level, and the language for YouTube captions.
  • If you want, you can review YouTube’s Terms of Service.
  • Press on Start Streaming.
  • Click on Copy Link and share it with anyone you want.
  • Once the streaming ends, tap on Stop Streaming. 

Google Meet Live Streaming On YouTube: What Are Its Uses?

Google says this "is useful in situations where users want to present information to large audiences outside of their organization, allowing them to pause and replay as needed, or view the presentation at a later time".

Starting July 21, Google has rolled out the feature in what it calls a "rapid release". This may take 3 days to reflect on the user’s end.

Then there is the “scheduled release” which begins on July 25 and it may take up to 15 days to go live for the user.
