Did you know Google Meet let you live stream your meetings? (Google )

Google earlier this year made its enterprise-focused Meet free for all users. Since then, Google has continued to enhance Meet with a variety of features and improvements. We have also seen a deeper integration of Meets in Gmail for both Suite users as well as the free version.

One of the top features of Google Meet is the ability to live stream your virtual meetings. The functionality can also be used for webinars, workshops, and many other purposes.

Note that the in-house live streaming is available with the G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Enterprise for Education and G Suite Enterprise Essentials users. If you have subscribed to one of these plans, here is how you can use Google Meet to live stream.
