Preparing for Your Google Meet Screen Recording
Before diving into the recording process, ensure you've completed these crucial steps:
-
Check iPhone Compatibility: Make sure your iPhone model and iOS version support screen recording. Generally, newer iPhones and updated iOS versions offer this functionality seamlessly.

Enable Screen Recording: Go to your iPhone's Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls. Add the "Screen Recording" option to your Control Center if it's not already there. This makes accessing the screen recording feature quick and easy.
-
Google Meet Permissions: Within the Google Meet app, ensure you have the necessary permissions enabled. This typically involves allowing access to your microphone and camera (if you plan to appear in the recording).
-
Inform Participants: It's good practice to inform the other participants in the Google Meet call that you're recording the session. This ensures transparency and respects everyone's privacy.
