Publish your Meet Add-on

After you've created a Google Meet Add-on, you can publish it so that it's available to select people or groups, everyone in your Google Workspace organization, or any Google Meet user.

If you want other users to be able to install your add-on, or if you want to test the screenshare entry flow, your add-on needs to be published. You can choose to publish your add-on either privately or publicly. When you publish privately, your add-on is limited to users within your Google Workspace organization. When you publish publicly, your add-on is listed on the Google Workspace Marketplace for any user to find and install.

How users discover and use Meet Add-ons

To discover a Meet Add-on, users can do any of the following:

  • Search and install a Meet Add-on from Meet or the Marketplace.

  • Interact with a Meet Add-on that's been added to a Meet meeting or through the The Meet Activities icon.

    Activities panel.

  • Install a Meet Add-on using a direct link shared by another user.

For more information on how meeting participants use add-ons, see Use a Meet Add-on.

Publish Meet Add-ons privately

When you publish privately, you can do any the following:

  • Publish your Meet Add-on to your Google Workspace organization. Your add-on is limited to users within your domain. It's also listed in the Internal Apps section of the Marketplace.

  • Make your Meet Add-on visible to Google Workspace administrators so they can install apps for users in their organization. When an administrator installs a Meet Add-on, the Meet Add-on appears in the users' Activities panel during a Meet meeting.

Note that even when your add-on is published, you have control over whether users are able to find it using the Marketplace, or whether they need a direct link.

To publish your add-on privately, follow the steps in Publish apps to the Google Workspace Marketplace.

Publish Meet Add-ons publicly

When you publish your add-on publicly, you make it available for any user to find, install, and use. Your add-on is listed on the Marketplace. Users can then add your Meet Add-on to a Meet meeting or to the Activities panel.

To publish an app publicly to the Marketplace, Google reviews your app and its listing to make sure they meet Google's design, content, and style guidelines. Review the following public documentation to make sure your add-on is ready to publish publicly: Publish apps to the Google Workspace Marketplace.

Then before you submit your app for review, make sure it meets all requirements by following the steps in these checklists:

  1. Requirements for all apps

  2. Requirements for specific app integrations

    1. Select Google Workspace Add-on from the App integration list.

    2. Apply the generic, non-product specific requirements. This includes the following:

      1. The top checkbox under Functionality.

      2. The top six checkboxes under User experience.

  3. Additional requirements for Google Meet Add-ons integrations.
