How to record a Google Hangout

1. Join the meeting and click on the three vertical dots in the lower right-hand corner.

2. Click Record meeting.

3. Once you click Accept, the recording will begin. All other participants will be notified when both the recording starts and stops.

4. When you are ready to stop the recording, click the three vertical dots again and click Stop recording. Recording will also stop if all participants leave the meeting.

Depending on the length of the recording, after some time it will generate and be saved within the organizer's Google Drive in a folder titled "Meet Recordings." An email with the recording link will also be sent to the meeting organizer and the person who started the recording.
