Introduction

Are you looking to record your next Google Meet meeting for posterity or to share with remote team members who couldn't attend? Look no further! This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process step by step, with easy-to-follow instructions and screenshots.

Setting Up Your Recording

Before you begin, ensure that the person who will be recording the meeting has the appropriate permissions. In a business or education setting, this person should be a G Suite administrator or teacher. For personal use, this person should be the organizer of the meeting.

Step 1: Locate the "Record" Button

Once you've joined a Google Meet meeting, you should see a row of icons along the bottom of the screen. Look for the one that resembles a red dot, and click on it to start recording.

Step 2: Start Recording

A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm that you'd like to start recording. Click "Start Recording" to begin. A red dot will appear in the top right corner of the screen to indicate that recording is in progress.

Step 3: Stop Recording

When you're ready to stop recording, click the same red dot button you used to start recording. Another pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm that you'd like to stop recording. Click "Stop Recording" to end the recording.

Saving and Sharing Your Recording

Step 1: Find Your Recording

Once you've stopped recording, the recording will automatically be saved to the organizer's Drive account. To find it, go to your Google Drive and look for a new folder called "Meet Recordings." The recording will be saved there as an MP4 file.

Step 2: Share the Recording

To share the recording with others, right-click on the file in Drive and select "Get shareable link." You can then copy and paste that link to share with your team via email or in a shared project management tool.

Additional Options

You can also Save the recording to your computer by downloading the file from Google drive,

With the help of "Google Meet recording transcribing add-on" you can get the transcript of your recording.

It's also possible to record the audio and video on separate tracks and merge them later with other video editing software.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues that you may encounter when trying to record a Google Meet meeting, and how to fix them:

• If you are unable to start the recording, make sure that you have the latest version of Google Meet.

• If you are experiencing poor sound or video quality, check your internet connection and make sure that your microphone and camera are working properly.

Extra Tips

You can also use third-party software such as "Loom" to record the meeting, Loom is a screen and video recording software that allows you to easily record your screen and microphone audio.

If you are worried about the recording not saving, you can use the duplicate feature in Google meet to make a copy of the meeting and save it on another location.

To do this, go to the settings in your Google Meet account and enable the "Automatic captions" feature. This will transcribe the audio in the recording, making it easier to follow and review later.

Advanced recording features

You can also choose to record just the audio or video from specific participants, or choose to record only your screen.

If you are recording a live event or class, you can also enable the "Q&A" feature to allow participants to ask questions during the meeting, which will be saved and recorded along with the meeting.

Meet also allows you to record multiple speaker view and choose which speaker will be shown on the recording.

Inviting Participants

Once you have started a meeting, you can invite others to join. To invite someone, click on the "People" button at the bottom of the screen. Here, you can enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite, or generate a link to share with them.
