How to Record Google Meet Quickly and Easily in 2025 [Step-by-Step]

There are some occasions where you want to record Google Meet, such as letting non-participating members know the meeting content, saving it to check specific parts if needed, or using it by the company to train new employees. However, some users have reported that they encounter difficulties in recording Google Meet and cannot do it properly. Don't worry. This article will introduce you to how to record Google Meet in three different ways to help you complete the recording easily.

Part 1. Record Google Meet as a Host or Participant

This section will introduce how to record Google Meet as a host or participant on a laptop or desktop.

Some users may wonder why they can't record on Google Meet. This is because there are some restrictions on recording directly on Google Meet. You are allowed to record Google Meet only if you are a meeting host or a participant with recording rights, and what you need to confirm before you start recording is whether you have a paid Google Workspace account and whether the workspace administrator enables recording for your account. Google restricts online meeting recordings to specific versions of Google Workspace, including but not limited to:

• Business Plus.

• Business Standard.

• Education Plus.

• Enterprise Plus.

• Enterprise Essentials.

You can go to the official Google Meet site to check the complete list of versions included. If you have confirmed that the answer above is yes, continue to the steps for recording as a host or a participant. If not, you can check which solutions in the following sections are helpful.

Note: The recorded meeting file will be saved in the My Drive > Meet Recordings folder. Moreover, the email containing the link to the recordings will be sent to the meeting organizer, the person who made the recording, and the participants.

Part 2. Record Google Meet on PC/Mac without Permission

Through the introduction in the previous part, we can learn that Google Meet supports recording meetings but has some restrictive factors. For example, users must have a Google account and be an administrator, or allowed by the administrator; only the meeting organizer and the participants with recording rights can record directly, etc.

In addition, as a non-professional recording tool, the quality of the recorded meetings by Google Meet is likely not as good as that of a specialized third-party screen recording tool. So, if you want to record high-quality Google Meet meetings without limitations, Aiseesoft Screen Recorder is a good choice.
