Google Meet is an outstanding video and audio conference tool used to communicate and collaborate for both work and play. Google Meet is not only a valuable tool for video chatting but also for recording meetings! Google Meet can help to deliver the recordings you need to keep everyone in the loop to stay at maximum productivity. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to record your meeting in Google Meet.
Why should you record your meetings in Google Meet?
There are many advantages to using Google Meet, and recording your meeting is one of them. Someone may not be able to attend the meeting, or you’d like to record a training session for future use, or perhaps you gave a presentation that should be saved - recording a meeting keeps you organized and is a reliable way to get the most accurate information from your meeting to those not present in real-time.
Who can record meetings in Google Meet?
Usually, only G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Enterprise Essentials and G Suite Enterprise for Education customers have the recording feature, however, through September 30, 2020, all G Suite customers have free access to the advanced Google Meet video conference features.
When the recording feature is enabled, a G Suite Administrator must activate the recording feature on your account. You can record meetings in Google Meet if you are the meeting organizer, in the same organization as the meeting organizer, or if you are a teacher that is signed into your G Suite account. For many reasons, students are not allowed or have access to record meetings on their end when using Google Meet.
