  1. Is screen sharing is same for all Google meet users? or do we get any extra features on paid subscription for screen sharing?

    1. There are many Googel Meet options in the Premium version (as a subscriber to Google Workspace). You can see more details on that here: https://support.google.com/meet/answer/10459644?hl=en.
