TL;DR
- Google Meet viewers will soon be able to download or copy video recordings by default.
- The recording owner will need to manually restrict this setting if they want to prevent viewers from downloading or copying.
- This change will be made on April 30, 2026.
There are plenty of reasons why you might want to download or copy a Google Meet call. Maybe you missed a part of the meeting and want to go back to see what you missed. Or maybe someone was absent, so you want to send them the recording. In a couple of weeks, you’ll be able to do just that without the need for permission from the recording owner.
