Can You Record a Google Meet Without Premium? [Reply & Fix]

Jean updated on Nov 22, 2024 to Screen Recorder Questions and Answers

I need to screen record our classes, which are each 4 hours long, but it seems that I need a premium subscription. Is there a free solution?

Unfortunately, you cannot record a Google Meet without premium.

If you want to record a Google Meet for free, use a third-party screen recorder. EaseUS RecExperts is a good choice.

This robust screen recording utility lets you record online meeting for free. It supports Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other video conference platforms. It even enables users to record Google Meet even without permission. Advanced features like no time limit, lag, or watermark grant you a hassle-free recording experience.

So, who can use Google Meet's recording feature? Since Google Meet doesn't offer this feature to everyone, you need to meet two requirements. Refer to the details below.

1. You have to be a paid Google Workspace user on specific plans.

  • Business Plus/Standard
  • Essentials
  • Education Plus (with a "Staff" or "Student" license)
  • Enterprise Essentials/Plus/Standard/ Starter
  • Google One subscribers with 2 TB or more storage space
  • Teaching and Learning Upgrade (with a "Teaching and Learning Upgrade" license)
  • Workspace Individual

2. You should be the meeting organizer, co-host, or whoever the administration assigns the right.
