Record a Meeting

In some instances, you may want to record your Google Meet session for your records or to share to those who were unable to attend the meeting live. Google has offered their, previously Premium, recording feature for free to use during the COVID-19 pandemic.

**Once the meeting is over, you will receive an email with a link to the video that was generated. This video will be automatically added to your Google Drive in a folder called "Meet Recordings." Please note that it does take awhile to generate your video, so you won't get it immediately.**

These are the instructions you will want to follow to record a meeting once you have started or joined.

1. Join or start your video meeting - See Create/Join a Meeting if you are unsure where to start on this.

2. From within your meeting, click the menu button in the bottom right corner (looks like 3 stacked dots)

3. Select "Record Meeting" from the top of the menu

4. Click "Accept" on the request for consent

5. When you see the "Recording" icon in the top left corner, you are now officially recording the meeting.

6. You can now either stop the recording by following Step 2 and choosing "Stop recording" from the menu OR by ending the meeting entirely.

7. Once your recording has ended, it will take awhile for Google to generate the final video file for you.
