Google Meet stands as a widely-used platform for video conferencing, enabling people to communicate from different locations. Although recording the session is straightforward for the meeting’s organizer, what happens when you’re not in charge? In this article, we’ll delve into the methods of recording on Google Meet without being the host.
Step 1: Join the Meeting
The first step is to join the meeting. If you have been invited to a meeting, simply click on the link provided in the invitation email or calendar event. Once you are in the meeting, you will see the video feed of all participants and the chat box where you can type messages.
Step 2: Enable Screen Sharing
To record the meeting, you need to enable screen sharing. To do this, click on the three dots in the bottom right corner of your video feed and select “Share Screen” from the drop-down menu. This will allow you to share your screen with other participants.
Step 3: Record the Meeting
Once you have enabled screen sharing, you can start recording the meeting. To do this, click on the three dots in the bottom right corner of your video feed and select “Record Meeting” from the drop-down menu. This will start recording the meeting audio and video.
Step 4: Stop Recording
When you are done with the meeting, click on the three dots in the bottom right corner of your video feed and select “Stop Recording” from the drop-down menu. This will stop recording the meeting audio and video.
Step 5: Access the Recorded Meeting
After you have stopped recording, the recorded meeting will be saved to your Google Drive. You can access it by going to your Google Drive account and looking for the folder labeled “Meet Recordings”. From there, you can download or share the recorded meeting with others.
Conclusion
Recording a Google Meet session if you are not the host is easy. By following these simple steps, you can record the meeting and access it later for reference or sharing with others. Remember to always ask for permission from the host before recording a meeting.
