In some cases, you may need to make a record for the remote meeting on Google Meet either for review or for those who could not join the meeting on time. We see there is a great demand for a guide to do it. Therefore, we are writing this guide on how to record Google Meet on Windows/Mac

Part 1: Record Google Meet in Original Quality

The best way to get a high-quality Google Meet record is to use a professional screen capture program. AnyMP4 Screen Recorder can work as a reliable Google Meet recording tool. It helps you record Google Meet live in original image quality without slowing down your system a little bit. After the Google Meet recording, you can also use it to edit the recorded video easily.

Step 2. Next you need to customize the recording area. The easiest way is to click the Full button for a full-screen Google Meet recording. Here you can also freely select a specific area to record.

Step 3. Don't forget to toggle the System Sound and Microphone switches on. Besides, you can turn off the Webcam in the screen capturer if you want to turn on your camera in the Google Meet. Turning on both of them will cause two webcam windows to show in the record.

When you think the settings are well customized, you can click the REC button on the right side. After a 3-second countdown, the Google Meet recording will start. Then you can shift to the Google Meet window.

Step 4. When the recording is going on, you can use the toolbar beneath the recording area.

The camera icon is for taking a snapshot.

You can also leave some instructions such as drawing, circle, arrow, line, and words, in your Google Meet record. Just click the pencil icon.

Here you can add instructions freely. When you want the marks to disappear from your screen, click the dustbin icon.

Step 5. The Stop button is shown in the picture below. You can click it to finish the Good Meet recording.

The Stop button will present you the preview and edit interface. Here you can:

• 1. Select a segment of the Google Meet record to save by adjusting the start and end points.
• 2. Adjust the volume of the whole recorded video and take snapshots.
• 3. Click the Re-record button to abandon the present one and start a new recording.

At last, just click the Save button. The Google Meet record will be saved on your computer.

Part 2: Use the Built-in Google Meet Recorder

If you don't want to manually record Google Meet, you can use the built-in meeting recording feature while the meeting is going on. When the meeting is over, the Google Meet record will be saved to your Google Drive. However, this method has several limitations:

• 1. You have to get permission from all attendees before recording Google Meet. It's very possible that some people won't allow you to record the meeting. And sometimes, some participants are away from the screen and could not click their mouse to permit you.
• 2. Informed that the meeting will be recorded, others participants may feel uncomfortable and behave unnaturally.
• 3. The record will be saved to your Google Drive only after everyone has quitted the meeting. Even then, it will take extra several minutes for the platform to produce the record and save it in your Google Drive. The downloading is also time-consuming.

Steps to record Google Meet using the built-in recorder

Step 1. Go to https://meet.google.com/ in your browser and click the New meeting button to start a new meeting.

Step 2. Click the More button (that three dots icon).

Now you can click the Record meeting button to start the recording. Note that this operation will prompt the platform to ask for consent from other participants.

Step 3. When the meeting is over, the Google Meet record will be automatically saved to your Google Drive. You can go to My Drive – Meet Recordings to download it.
