How To Record a Meeting In Google Meet:
You can try the following steps below to record a meeting in Google Meet:
Step 1: Start a Google Meeting & Share Link
The first step you have to follow to record a meeting in Google Meet is to open a web browser on your PC and type in “meet.google.com”. This will open the Google Meet home page. Here you will find a few options on the top right corner of the screen. The right-most option will be “Start a meeting”.
You have to click on this. Next, you will be taken to the “Sign in” page, where you can type in your email and password and log in to your Google account. In the email section, type in your G Suite account email.
You can also create a new account here. After that’s done, you will be taken to the Google Meet meeting page, where meetings are conducted as the name suggests. Next, you have to click on “Join now”. A notification will appear asking you to add others by sharing the joining code. Share this with people using any mode of communication that you prefer.
Step 2: Click Record Meeting
Once the meeting has started, you will notice a bunch of icons at the bottom right corner of the screen. The icon to the complete right, however, is that which resembles three dots. This is called the three dots icon.
You have to click on it. A list of options will appear above the icon related to changes you can make within the current meeting. Here you will find an option that says “Record meeting”. You will find this as the first option in the list. You have to click on this and provide consent; the meeting will start being recorded.
Note: For a meeting to be recorded by its participants, you must grant related permissions in G Suite.
Step 3: To End: Click Stop recording
You’ll know your meeting is being recorded by the red button that says “REC”. After recording the meeting and would like to stop, you have to go to the three dots icon at the bottom of the screen.
You will then have to click on it. A list of options will appear, and the top option here will be the one we require right now. The option is called “Stop recording”. You have to click on this to stop recording the meeting.
You will get a verification prompt asking if you wish to stop. Click “Stop recording”. After you click on the option, the red button that says “REC” will be removed after a second or two, depending on the strength of the internet.
Step 4: Saved to Google Drive Automatically
As soon as you stop recording the meeting by clicking on the respective option and confirming the same in the verification prompt, your video will be saved to Google Drive. You can know this for sure as a text appears at the bottom left corner of the screen for a short period suggesting that the video you recorded has been saved to your Google Drive directly. Therefore, no manual saving of the file is required in this case.
Step 5: Find the Recorded Call from Google Drive
To find a recorded call, open a new tab on your browser and type “drive.google.com” in the search bar. Your Google Drive area will open. Make sure you log in with the same account you used to record the meeting.
Here, you will have to search for the recording that just got saved. You will find the same in the “My Drive” section, which you can visit by clicking on the “My Drive” option to the left of the screen. Then, you can watch this video or even download it.
Google Classroom Recording:
You can record a Google Classroom on Google Meet. However, this can only happen if the related permissions have been granted in G Suite.
This means that an individual has to go to their Google admin account and the Google Suite area and allow permission for people to record the meeting. Then the “Record meeting” option will appear in the meeting’s three dots icon area.
