Get started

Early Access Program: This feature is only available in limited preview, through an Early Access Program.

You can start integrating the Google Meet Live Sharing SDK into your Android app using Java.

You can find Android documentation and additional Android libraries to expand the functionality and features of your app through the official Android Developers Documentation.

Note: These guides use a fictional media streaming app called “AwesomeVideoApp” to add co-watching functionality through the Meet Live Sharing SDK. There are also several code samples to demonstrate the scenarios.

Use the SDK

The first step to begin the Meet Live Sharing SDK is to call AddonClientFactory.getClient(). This returns an AddonClient that can be used to start a co-watching activity, a co-doing activity, or both.

The Co-Watching API and Co-Doing API are independent and can be used in parallel with each other.

Note: After your EAP application is approved, and you've been onboarded by the Meet team, you can download the latest SDK release from Google's Maven repository.
