# How to record a meeting via Google Meet with Avoma

This article explains how to start recording and transcribing a Google Meet session using Avoma. It’s intended for meeting organizers and participants who need accurate meeting notes, searchable transcripts, and recordings.

Use this when you want to capture a live meeting for later review, documentation, or follow-ups. It applies when Avoma is already connected to your Google Meet workspace and your organization has the correct permissions enabled.

| #### Before you begin - The meeting organizer must be an Avoma user - Google Meet must be successfully connected to Avoma (see [Connect Google Meet with Avoma](https://help.avoma.com/avoma-integration-with-google-cloud-recording?hsLang=en)) - You must have permission to start recordings in Google Meet - Ensure you are already inside an active Google Meet session |

     2. **Disable Host Management at the Domain Level**  
        Administrators can disable host management for all meetings through the **Google Workspace Admin console**.  
        For detailed instructions and configuration options, refer to the [**Manage Meet Settings**](https://support.google.com/a/answer/7304109?sjid=11982247043882144005-NC#manage) documentation.

#### **Manage recording and transcription automatically**

2. Organizations using specific Google Workspace editions have the capability to automate the management of their meeting recordings. To configure this feature for your Google Workspace, please refer to the detailed instructions provided in this help [document](https://support.google.com/a/answer/15496523?hl=en).

#### Recap

You can start recording and transcription in Google Meet by using the Meeting Tools or More options menu and enabling both recording and transcription. Once started, Avoma automatically captures the meeting and generates structured notes for later use.
