How to use the recording controls in a meet video?

- Jan 06, 2026-

Hey there! If you're using our meet video services, you're definitely in for a treat. Today, I'm gonna walk you through how to use the recording controls in a meet video, which can be super handy for various reasons, like reviewing important discussions, sharing info with team members who missed the meet, or just keeping a record for future reference.

First things first, let's talk about where to find these recording controls. Once you're in a meet video session, look for a button that usually has an icon of a circle with a dot inside it. This is the classic symbol for recording in most digital applications. In our meet video, we've made it easy to spot right at the bottom - center or bottom - right corner of your screen, depending on your device's orientation.

When you click that recording button, a countdown will start, usually 3 seconds. This gives everyone in the meet a heads - up that the session is about to be recorded. It's a good practice, too, so no one is caught off - guard. And hey, if you change your mind during the countdown, you can just click the button again to cancel the recording.

Now, during the recording, there are some additional controls you might want to know about. One of them is the pause button. If there's a part of the meeting that you don't want to be on the record, for example, a private or sensitive discussion, you can hit the pause button. It looks like two vertical lines and is usually right next to the recording button. To resume the recording, just click it again, and the session will continue to be logged.

Another useful feature is the stop button. When the meet is over or you no longer need to record, just click the square - shaped stop button. After you stop the recording, our system will process it for a short while. Once it's done, you'll get a notification, and you can access the recording from your account dashboard.

Let's talk about some practical situations where these recording controls come in real handy. Say you're in a business meeting with clients. You can record the discussion to make sure you don't miss any important points, like project requirements or deadlines. Then, you can go back and review the recording later to take notes and follow up.

If you're conducting a training session, recording it means you can share it with new trainees in the future, saving you the time of repeating the same content over and over again. It's a great way to make your training process more efficient.

And if you're part of a study group, recording the meet can help you recap and catch up on any parts you didn't understand during the session. You can even slow down or re - watch the video at your own pace.
