New Watermarking in Google Meet Helps Protect Your Meeting Content

Was sich ändert

Google Workspace customers with a Gemini add-on can now watermark presented content and video feeds in Google Meet. Watermarking in Google Meet will appear as a subtle text overlay that displays the meeting code and the email address of the viewer over the shared content and video feeds of participants. Using a watermark can help discourage unauthorized copying and sharing, protecting both users’ video images and content shared during meetings. Hosts and co-hosts can turn on watermarking at any time in the meeting. Once watermarking is turned on, it shows on all participants’ screens.

Zusätzliche Details

Watermarking is available to meeting participants signed into a Google account using the latest Chrome browser, Android or iOS apps, or Google Meet hardware devices. Only participants using supported browsers and apps will see video feeds when watermarking is turned on.

Additionally, watermarking cannot be used when recording a meeting or live streaming a meeting. If you turn on a recording during a meeting, you’ll see a dialog box notifying you that watermarking stops when recording starts.
