In Google Meet you can record a video call to be viewed at a later time. The recording

the lower right again and select “Stop
Recording” at the top of the list.

your Google Drive in a folder that is
created the first time you record a Meet.
It is called “Meet Recordings.”
You will need to click “Accept” on the
consent window to begin. It may take a
few seconds for the recording to begin.
You will know it has started when you see
“REC” icon in the upper left corner.
5. After opening the video in your Google
Drive, click on the 3 dots in the upper
right hand corner and select “Share.”

Protecting Student Privacy:
When you do a recording in Google Meet, be sure that you know which
students are able to be recorded and which are not. If a student cannot be
recorded, they can simply be instructed to turn off their camera but still
participate in the Meet.
When sharing your recording, be aware of copyright and conscious of
where you post your video. Linking to the video in Schoology or sharing
directly is your best option.
