As an administrator, you can allow people in your organization to live-stream Google Meet meetings. You can choose whether the stream is only visible to users in your organization (in-house), shared with other trusted Google Workspace domains, or available to watch with YouTube.
Turn in-house live streaming on or off
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 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.

Add trusted Google Workspace domains to view live streams
You can add any Google 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). If you add a domain, anyone who has an account in that domain can watch meetings live-streamed from your organization.
The maximum number of trusted domain live stream viewers depends on your Google Workspace edition.
