(Pocket-lint) – Those of you who use Google Meet for video conferencing can now broadcast your meetings to the big screen. Google Meet has added support for Chromecast, allowing you to stream content from your device to TVs using Chromecast, Android TVs, or smart screens.
“We recognize that many schools are moving to distance / distance learning, and we wanted to support this new learning environment for teachers and students,” Google explained. “Meet on Chromecast will let you organize or join meetings, giving you the ability to connect with your classmates, collaborate on projects, and even attend conferences.”
How to stream Google Meet to TV from a computer
If you want to use a different Google Meet display than your computer, you can cast to your Chromecast and Cast-enabled TVs, or to Cast-enabled devices such as Android TVs, TV dongles, and smart displays. With this feature, you’ll still be using your computer’s camera, microphone, and audio, but you’ll also see your meeting on a larger screen.
This uses the streaming functionality built into Meet in a Chrome browser. If you want to stream Meet from a smartphone, follow the instructions below in the next section.
What do you need
- TV with a connected Chromecast, Cast-compatible TV, or Cast-compatible display.
- A computer
- Google account
Supported Chromecast models include Chromecasts of second generation and later, which includes Chromecast with Google TV. You’ll need to hook up the Chromecast and set up which is simple – just plug it in and follow the instructions.

How to stream Google Meet to TV from a smartphone
If you want to stream Google Meet from a smartphone, it’s pretty easy on Android using the built-in streaming feature. As above, you need to make sure you’ve set up the Chromecast or Cast-enabled device in advance.
Then you will need to cast the entire phone display to your device – there is no option to just stream the Meet app from a smartphone. This means you have to find the cast option on your phone – it’s often found in the quick settings bar, so swipe down from the top of the screen and find the shortcut. It might not be in the selection of shortcuts you have, but it’s easy to add.
Then you just tap on that Screen Cast option (but be aware that some manufacturers have different names for the service) and select your Chromecast. This will mirror your phone to the TV, so you can then make your Meet call.
You can also start broadcasting in the middle of a call using the same method.
