What’s changingAdditional access controls for Google Meet will now let hosts decide who can view their live streams. Live streams can now reach a wider audience with added flexibility for events like town halls, webinars, and large presentations. This allows for mixed internal/external audiences and better granularity for hosting restricted internal broadcasts.External live streaming: Hosts can now also invite external users outside their own domain to join live streams. External viewers join live streams with their invited Google Account.Targeted internal live streaming: Hosts can now optionally limit in-domain access to a live stream to only specific users or groups and not the entire domain.New "Adaptive" meeting type: A new opt-in "Adaptive" meeting type setting provides access to these new controls. Existing meetings will keep their behaviors unchanged.Getting startedAdmins: There is no admin control for this feature.End users (meeting hosts): The new Adaptive meeting type is available for meetings with a live stream.
