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:

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.
