Creating Recordings in Google Meet

Faculty have the ability to record Google Meet meetings at CNU.  If you need recording ability on Google Meet in order to conduct University business and you do not see these recording tools, put in a ticket at help.cnu.edu to request access to recording.

To create a recording in Google Meet, you need to be inside a currently-active Google Meet session. Open the Activities menu on the bottom right.

A sidebar will pop up. If this is blank, you don't have recording permissions and must request them with a ticket at help.cnu.edu.  If you do see options, click Recording.

You'll be asked what language you'd like the captions to be.   Select the language of your meeting (we HIGHLY recommend that you include captions in any recordings that will be distributed beyond the participants).  Then, click Start Recording.

A mini-window appears in the center of the screen, notifying the user that they should be asking for consent of all participants before starting the recording. Clicking "Start" will start the recording. 

The recording will start and you'll see an indicator at the top right.

To stop the recording, click the recording indicator.  Click the Stop Recording button that appears.

You will see a notice that your recording will be stored in Google Drive. Processing time may vary depending on the length of the video–the video will not be immediately available as soon as the recording is done. Google will send a notification email upon uploading the video to your Google Drive. 

Please note that any recordings made in a Google Meet space will be uploaded to the Google Drive of the space's host–guests to a Google Meet space may record, but will not receive the recording unless the host shares it with them afterwards.
