Works with

Google Meet

If you're trying to record a Google Meet from your iPhone, you have a few options. The iOS screen recorder works in a pinch but it captures everything on screen, including notifications. RecordMeeting's webapp lets you join and record the call from mobile Safari without an extra screen recorder, and uploads the result to your workspace automatically.

No admin or paid plan

Works on any Google account, including free Gmail and any Workspace tier. Skip the IT request.

No notetaker bot in the room

Recording happens locally in your browser tab. No third-party participant joins the call.

Video, transcript and AI summary

Every recording becomes an MP4, a transcript in 50+ languages, and a summary with action items.

Step-by-step

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Option 1: Use the RecordMeeting webapp on mobile

    Open recordmeeting.com on your iPhone, sign in, and join your Google Meet from there. The call is recorded directly to your workspace. No screen recorder needed, no extra cleanup of notifications or other apps.

  2. 2

    Option 2: Use the built-in iOS screen recorder

    Open Settings → Control Center → add Screen Recording. Open the Google Meet app and join the call. Swipe down from the top-right to open Control Center and tap the record button. To capture audio, long-press the record button and turn on Microphone. Stop recording from the same Control Center button when done. The video saves to Photos.

  3. 3

    Option 3: Record on desktop, watch on mobile

    If you also have a Mac or PC, the most reliable option is to record from desktop with the RecordMeeting Chrome extension. Recordings are stored in your workspace and you can watch, share or download them from your iPhone afterwards.

Good to know

Why the iOS screen recorder isn't ideal for meetings

iOS screen recording captures everything on your screen, including pop-up notifications, your battery indicator, and any app you accidentally swipe to. It also records only what's currently on screen, so if you switch apps mid-call, you lose the meeting view. RecordMeeting on mobile or desktop avoids all of that by capturing the meeting itself, not your screen.
