https://zoom.earth/ https://zoom.earth/ not quite real time (I'm not sure if that's even possible) but this is quite up to date. I used to to check out the smoke from last year. edit: you get pictures every 10 minutes of the whole globe, but the resolution is pretty bad, good enough to check the cloud coverage though

There is also https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-playground/ https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-playground/ which seems to be a bit higher resolution, I think they are imagin the whole earth every other day.

  The two Sentinel-2 satellites together cover all land area of the Earth every 5 days, but are only 10-meter pixel resolution. > 10 days at the equator with one satellite, and 5 days with 2 satellites under cloud-free conditions which results in 2-3 days at mid-latitudes https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-2 https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-2

YMMV, but I just checked my neighborhood out and the satellite image is ~5 years old.

  Once you pass a certain zoom (looks like zoom 11.5 here) the imagery is no longer recent. You can see the copyright statement change to "Microsoft", where it presumably just loads data from Bing maps. At lower zooms, where the copyright is something like "GOES-East", that's more real-time data because it comes from geostationary satellites that can take (low resolution) images every few minutes.

The imagery on here is 5-10 years older than the imagery on Google Maps for much of Quebec, not sure about other areas.

>but this is quite up to date. It's up to date zoomed out, but zoomed in seems to be similar to what google maps provides. The picture of the area I live is the same 10 year old picture on google maps, complete with a house that hasn't existed in almost as much time.
