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. Note
Recording is only available on the web version of Google Meet. If you're a Google Workspace administrator who manages your organization's Google meetings, you may need to turn the recording feature on for Meet first. 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.

The meeting organizer or the person who started the meeting automatically receives an email with the recording link once it's finished processing. For quicker access, click the link in the email to open the recording, select Play to rewatch it, or select three vertical dots > Share to share it with others.
