The recording will capture the audio, video, and screen-sharing of the meeting, and it will be saved to the "Google Drive" folder of the organizer's Google account.

Step 3: Stop the recording

When you stop the recording, a notification will appear at the top of the screen to let the participants know that the recording has stopped. The recording will be saved to the "Google Drive" folder of the organizer's Google account.

Once the recording has stopped, you can review and share the recording. To review the recording, go to the "Google Drive" folder of the organizer's Google account and navigate to the folder where the recording was saved. This folder will contain the recording of the meeting, which you can click on to open and review.

To share the recording, go to the "Google Drive" folder of the organizer's Google account and navigate to the folder where the recording was saved.
