Why You Need to Record Google Meet Calls Without Permission

There are a few reasons one may wish to record Google Meet. If you're meeting someone through Google Meet, keeping a record of that meeting allows you to remember what was said or spoken of in the meeting. For instance:

• A student might record Google Meet to keep notes or return to the lecture for important points. Some schools even ask their students to record such meetings.
• Professionals might record these videos just for the sake of a professional record. Or revisit the video and take notes, make a transcript, etc.
• Gamers or content creators might record these Meet to upload on their social media, YouTube channels, etc.
• You might record it for the sake of memories or talking to a loved one, family, etc.

This allows you to keep the video safe and ensure that you can revisit it anytime you like—for whichever purpose from the above.

The Legality of Recording a Google Meet Without Permission

You might wonder if recording a Google Meet without permission is even legal. In some workplaces, it's not encouraged to record anything. In some schools, it's strictly forbidden to record specific classes.

However, Google offers the in-built option to record videos, but it's a locked feature that unlocks when you buy it. So, does recording using other methods get you in legal trouble? While Google may not bother you, your school, workplace, or others.

It's illegal to record anyone without consent in many countries, particularly the United States. So, it's a legal obligation to let your class, workmates, and other people in your call know that the meeting is being recorded.
