The maximum number of in-house live stream viewers depends on your Google Workspace edition.

Turn live streaming to YouTube on or off
Meet meetings live-stream to the selected YouTube channel of the person who started the stream. For meetings with host management on, only hosts and co-hosts can start a live stream. If host management is off, anyone in the meeting host's organization can initiate live streaming.
YouTube's privacy settings control who can see a live stream and how long the stream is available to view. You can allow streaming with YouTube even if other live stream settings are off. An unlimited number of people can watch Meet meetings live-streamed to YouTube.
