View a live stream

Important:

•  To view a live stream, you must be in the same organisation as the meeting organiser or be identified by the Workspace admin as a trusted Workspace sub-domain. Get in touch with your Workspace admins to set up cross-domain live streaming.
• As a live stream viewer, you can't turn on or enable your camera or microphone on the live stream.

Tip: To watch the event later, ask the meeting organiser if a recording is available. The live stream can only be watched while being aired live.
