The ability to record Google Meet calls has many advantages. For example, a meeting recording can be shared later for use in training, to rehash the details of a project, or to take notes on what was discussed.

But not everyone can record a Google Meet call. Google Meet recordings can only be made by people within the same organization, by a meeting’s organizer, or by a teacher using Google Meet as a classroom.
