Live Stream is a feature within Google Meet that allows you to broadcast a Google Meet session for a larger audience. With Live Stream, you can create a view-only session that can be streamed live by up to 100,000 participants. This will allow schools to share larger events like family nights, concerts, or large-scale meetings with a bigger audience where the audience does not interact with the presentation. All participants must be logged in with BCPS credentials in order to view the live streamed event.

*This feature should not be used in place of virtual class time with students.
