Apply watermarks to your meetings

Important: This feature is available to users on work or school accounts through a Gemini for Google Workspace add-on. Learn about Gemini features and plans.

A watermark is a subtle text overlay that’s applied to your video feed and presentations when you’re in a meeting. It displays the meeting's meet code and the email address of the viewer. You can use a watermark to:

• Protect the confidentiality of the visual content you share in a meeting.
• Help trace unauthorized copies of video and screen shares.

Please note that this doesn’t prevent the removal of the watermark by a user who has a program to edit images.

To enable watermarks, make sure that participants:

• Are signed in to a Google Account
• Use either the latest version of the mobile app or an updated Chromium browser

Otherwise, you get a prompt to remove them from the meeting once you enable the watermark. If a participant uses an unsupported browser, they can’t view incoming video and presentations.

You can’t use watermarks if you:

• Record a meeting.
• Live stream a meeting.

If you start to record or live stream during a meeting, it disables the watermark.

Learn what you need to apply watermarks

To use watermarks on mobile devices, you need to have the latest version of the Google Meet app. Learn how to download the new Google Meet app.
