Turn live streaming to YouTube on or off

YouTube's privacy settings control who can see a live stream and how long the stream is available to view. You can allow streaming with YouTube even if other live stream settings are off. An unlimited number of people can watch Meet meetings live-streamed to YouTube.

The maximum number of trusted domain live stream viewers depends on your Google Workspace edition.
