Add trusted Workspace domains to view live streams
Follow the steps below to add trusted Workspace domains to view live streams.
Important: Think carefully before adding Workspace domains as trusted domains. Adding a trusted domain means that anyone in the trusted domain with the live stream URL can watch live streams from your organization. Also, you can add any Workspace domain to the trusted domain list, but you should only add domains that you own (such as subsidiary companies or schools in your school district). Adding domains outside of what you own can potentially give access to livestreams to anyone who has an account in those trusted domains.

Who can view live stream video meetings
Only guests within your organization can view a live stream from your organization. Full participants within your organization can stop and start the stream during the meeting, and record the event. View-only guests can't participate in the meeting or control streaming and recording. The maximum number of live-stream viewers depends on your account and Google Workspace edition.
