Google enables live streaming Google Meet video calls on YouTube

Google makes it possible to livestream video calls via the Google Meet video calling platform to YouTube. In this way, interested parties can pause the video call or watch it again at a later time.

The function is mainly aimed at companies and schools. Live streaming of video calls is available to most paid Workspace users. This includes users of Google Workspace Individual, Google Workspace Enterprise Starter and the Google One Premium subscription that provides additional cloud storage.

Live streaming Google Meet conversations makes it possible to reach a wider audience, including people outside an organization. In addition, it is possible to pause the stream or watch it again at a later time after the presentation.

Such a live streaming service was also previously available for Google Hangouts. However, in 2019, Google pulled the plug on the section called Hangouts On Air. In 2020, the tech giant also stopped the option for group video calls in Hangouts, and then forwarded users to Google Meet. The company also recently announced that Duo will be merged with Meet.
