Present content from camera in Google Meet
What’s changing
We’re introducing a new capability that lets users directly present content from their camera feed into a meeting, for example a document camera, video production tool, or an external camera. This is helpful for customers who utilize external production systems or other dedicated cameras to share video content during meetings, including:
- Streaming produced video content (e.g., for town hall meetings).
- Professional sharing live feeds from external video source (e.g. microscope, camera)
- Educators presenting paper content using a document camera.
Additionally, Presenting content from a camera supports up to 1080p/30FPS.

Additional details
We're also introducing several improvements to the overall screen sharing functionality to make presenting smoother and more efficient:
- Starting any type of screen sharing (i.e. desktop, window or tab) is faster than before.
- Additionally, video quality during screen sharing is sharper and provides better handling of dynamic scenes, such as scrolling text or video content.
- To minimize disruptions, any previous presentation will now automatically resume if a second presenter stops sharing their screen.
- We've also updated the user interface to make the screen sharing button larger and positioned more intuitively alongside other key controls, making it easier to find when you need it.
