Google Meet is adding new features which are expected to get carried over to its new home within the app currently known as “Duo”.
The announcement came after Google Meet decided to replace Google Duo with Google Meet to make it the company’s primary app for video calling and conferencing in the upcoming months.
The latest update for Google Meet will allow the platform “to do more than just get work done in video meetings,” according to a report by 9to5Google. The video calling app might support — YouTube, Spotify, UNO, and other “non-work” tools in the upcoming days.
Last July, the app allowed users to live stream their meetings to YouTube, noting that other new features are underway. Admins will be able to choose whether they would like to enable live streaming, as well as streaming permissions for meeting participants.
The Google Workspace team said: “Live streaming is useful in situations where you want to present information to large audiences outside of your organization, giving them the opportunity to pause and replay as needed or view the presentation at a later time.”
The feature will be available to Google Workspace Individual users, Google One Premium plan members in selected regions, Google Workspace Enterprise Starter, Standard and Plus packages, and Education Plus, Teaching, and Learning Upgrade customers.
