As an administrator, you can turn on live streaming to allow people in your organization to watch a Google Meet video meeting.
Turn live streaming on or off
Before you begin: To apply the setting for certain users, put their accounts in an organizational unit (to set by department) or a configuration group (to set for users across or within departments).
-
Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).
-
From the Admin console Home page, go to Apps
Google Workspace
- Click Meet video settings.
- To apply the setting to everyone, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit or a configuration group.
- Click Stream and check or uncheck the Let people stream their meetings box.
- Click Save. If you configured an organizational unit or group, you might be able to Inherit or Override a parent organizational unit, or Unset a group. Changes typically take effect in minutes, but can take up to 24 hours. For details, go to How changes propagate to Google services.
Add trusted Google Workspace domains to view live streams
Important: Think carefully before adding Google Workspace domains as trusted domains. When you add a trusted domain, anyone in the trusted domain with the live-stream URL can watch live streams from your organization. Also, 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 domains that you don't own, you give access to live streams to anyone who has an account in those trusted domains.
