How to record a Google Meet with GGlot
Three steps. The first two you do once.
Add the GGlot Meeting Recorder from the Chrome Web Store. Then connect it to your free or paid GGlot account with one click.
Choose the meeting language and press Start. The recorder records the meeting sound and your microphone, so every voice is in the transcript.
The recording appears in My Files and is transcribed a few minutes later. The transcript is not live; we email you when it is ready.
What you get after the meeting
Every speaker gets a label. Rename them once and the names change everywhere in the transcript.
Choose the meeting language before you start. Many languages are covered by the free minutes.
Correct a word in the online editor, translate the transcript, or export TXT, DOCX, PDF and subtitles (SRT, VTT).
If the internet drops for a moment, the audio is kept in your browser and sent when you are back online.
Record Google Meet without Google Workspace
The record button inside Google Meet needs a paid plan: most Google Workspace editions (such as Business Standard or Business Plus), or a Google One plan with 2 TB of storage or more. In a Workspace organization, an administrator must also turn recording on. With a free Gmail account you cannot use it.
The GGlot Meeting Recorder works in any meeting you are in, on any Google account. It records the meeting tab and your microphone in your own browser. It does not add a participant to the call.
