The new feature will allow information shared through Google Meet chat messages, including links, time-keeping messages, and more, to be visible to those watching live streams.
Until now, chat messages during a call were only visible to hosts, co-hosts, participants, and viewers who were in the main meeting. After installing the update, you will see a notification the next time chat messages are sent during a live stream. Once you click the notification, a chat panel will open.

Obviously, this feature won't be available to all Google Meet users. The Mountain View company revealed that only the following Google Workspace will be able to start a live stream and enable this feature: Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Enterprise Essentials Plus, Education Plus , and the Teaching & Learning upgrade.
The bad news is that this feature will roll out at a much slower pace than usual, according to Google. That's because we're getting close to the end of the year and there will be a lot of holidays.
