Last January, Google updated its video-calling platform with the Live Captions feature to make Google Meet video calls more inclusive and collaborative by removing language proficiency barriers.
In July, Google Meet allowed users to live stream their meetings to YouTube, starting from Monday, noting that other new features are underway for the next 15 days.
Admins will be able to choose whether they would like to enable live streaming, as well as streaming permissions for meeting participants.
