How to Record a Meeting
Before you begin recording a meeting, make sure you’re the meeting organizer or at least in the same organization as the meeting organizer. You can also be a teacher signed into their Google Workspace account.
When the meeting has started, select the three vertical dots in the lower right corner of the screen. Select Record meeting from the menu list to start recording the meeting. A pop-up box will appear recommending that you ask for the consent of all participants before starting to record. Select Accept to start recording. Note Participants of the meeting are notified when the recording starts and stops, regardless of whether you ask for their consent. Meet chat conversations are also saved for the duration of the recording. When you want to end the recording, select the three vertical dots in the lower right corner again, followed by Stop recording from the menu list. Confirm that you want to stop the recording by selecting Stop recording again from the popup confirmation box. Wait for the recording to finish processing and automatically saved in Google Drive.
Google Meet Recording Restrictions
Google Meet users who don’t have a paid Google Workspace account (formerly G Suite) can’t record meetings. The recording feature is available for all paid Google Workspace editions except the Business Starter edition. These include:

Rewatch and Share a Recorded Meeting
You can access recorded meetings from Google Drive. Go to the organizer’s My Drive, select Folders followed by the Meet Recordings folder, and then select the recording file to rewatch it in My Drive.
You can also download the recording to your computer to rewatch it in better quality. Select the file, then select the three vertical dots followed by Download.
To share the recording, select the file followed by the share icon and enter the recipients’ names or email addresses. Alternatively, select the link icon to copy and paste the link in an email or messaging app.
