How to record a Google Meet video call to rewatch or share the meeting later

• To record a Google Meet video call, you must have a Google Workspace plan.
• You can only record a Google Meet video call using a computer.
• Meeting organizers can share a link to the recording after the meeting is over.

The ability to record Google Meet video calls is a helpful feature for both businesses and educators. If a coworker couldn't make a meeting or needs to revisit a point of discussion to take notes, or if a student misses class, they can revisit the recording after the fact.

It's important to note that this particular feature is limited to specific editions of Google Workspace, which is highlighted in this Google Help article. In short, if you have a standard, run-of-the-mill free Google account that isn't associated with an organization, you'll need to sign up for a Google Workspace Individual Plan to record meetings.

In this article, we go over how to record a video on Google Meet and share the recording.
