Recording a hangout in Google Mit may be necessary to record important work negotiations or, for example, therapist advice during an online appointment. And with remote education, it will be possible to archive the lecture on a gadget or PC and listen to the training material again. Let’s talk about methods on how to allow a meeting to be recorded in Google Mit.
Through the Screen Studio Software
This is a domestic software for working with video materials on Windows OS. The software supports 3 capture options: the entire screen, the active window, and a specific fragment (when selected). The program makes it possible to capture a picture from a webcam. Videos can be created with or without audio (from a third-party microphone or PC). The Screen Studio also offers video processing functions: you can create various transitions between frames, glue and crop them, integrate text and (or) graphic information into the video.
Key features of the Russian-language program:
- changing the playback speed mode;
- voice recording of comments;
- availability of options for displaying text information: animation, dimension, font;
- applying special effects, for example, “Vintage”;
- export recordings in various extensions, including WMV, AVI;
- the presence of a built-in collection of audio tracks, including over two hundred musical compositions.
To create a recording of a Google Meet meeting using the Screen Studio, you need:
- Open the software and determine the capture area, the audio source, the size of the video, and the hue of the cursor (if desired).
- Open Google Mit and connect to the hangout. Then select “Start recording” in the On-Screen Studio. To end the conference, click on the “Stop” option, and to interrupt, click on the pause recording button.
After that, the video in auto mode will start in the editor, where you can process the video material – crop unnecessary ones, apply stickers and text information, create transitions between frames, record voiceover, add a musical composition. After editing the recording, tap on “Save video” and set the export options: quality, resolution, volume of the archived video file.
Using the built-in Google Mit tool
The pre-installed Google Meet utility has support for capturing video streams from PCs and gadgets, and allows you to start, interrupt, and end teleconferences at any time during the meeting. Additionally, you can send feedback, launch auto-subtitles, and “raise your hand” to ask something. During the hangout, you can also use an interactive whiteboard for drawing and writing. At the same time, the number of participants in the teleconference is not limited.
Advantages of the method:
- chats, presentations, audio and video materials are archived.;
- there is no need to install additional software.;
- the meeting is archived on the organizer’s Google Drive in auto mode;
- The link to the video is sent by e-mail to all participants.

- there are no tools for video processing.
Let’s look at how to enable meeting recording in Google Meet:
