How can i record on google meet?

Today, we are spending 40% of work time or class time on online tools. But only attending is not enough. We want to do more. We want to record it so that we can review it later. But How Can I record on google meet?

The ability to record Google Meet video calls is a useful feature for both businesses and educators. If a colleague is unable to attend the meeting, needs to revisit the discussion point to take notes, or the student is unable to attend the class, you can revisit the recording later.

Many have started its use to get their meetings done quick and easy, to get about their day and finish the other tasks on time.

Google meet has provided all the users who use Google in general, accessibility to get in and out of a meeting as fast as they can, or at least set it up whenever they please.

But the main issue with the Google meet is its lack of recall ability. You can take a meeting on it all fast and quick, but so many frequent meetings can get you dazed and confused about who talked about what.
