Subscribe to Google Meet events

This page describes the Google Meet events that your app can subscribe to using the Google Workspace Events API.

Subscription events from Google Meet are structured according to the CloudEvents specification. To learn more, see Structure of Google Workspace events.

Supported Meet target resources

To receive Meet events, the Google Workspace Events API supports subscriptions to the following resources:

  • Meet meeting spaces, represented as space resources.
  • Meet users, represented as Cloud Identity API user resources.

Supported Meet events

Google Workspace subscriptions let you receive events about the following types of changes in Meet:

When you create a subscription to a Meet resource, you use the eventTypes[] field to specify which types of events you want to receive. Event types are formatted according to the CloudEvents specification, such as google.workspace.APPLICATION.RESOURCE.VERSION.ACTION. For example, to receive events about new participants in a conference for a Meet space, you specify the event type as google.workspace.meet.participant.v2.joined.

The following table displays the supported event types, a description, and the changed Meet resource that's represented in the event data:

Event data

This section describes event data and example payloads for events in Meet meeting spaces.

When your Google Workspace subscription receives an event from Meet, the data field contains the payload for the event. This payload has information about the Google Workspace resource that changed. For example, if you've subscribed to events about new transcripts in a space, the payload for these events contains information about the transcript resource that changed.

Resource data in the event payload

The following table provides examples of JSON payloads for a subscription to a Meet meeting space. The examples use the conference conferenceRecords/AAA-BBB-CCC-DDD-EEE that takes place in the space. For each event that the subscription receives, the payload appears in the data field of the event:
