Dailies Studio turns your Google Meet calls into short videos: its extension records the call you hold in Chrome, and a few minutes after you hang up, you have up to eight captioned vertical shorts to schedule. There is nothing to install in Meet and nothing to change in the way you hold your calls.
Google Meet suits it particularly well: it runs in the browser, and it is the platform on which Dailies Studio can record without so much as a click.
What does Dailies Studio record on Google Meet?
During a Meet call, the extension records:
- the call’s sound, your voice and the voices of the people you talk to;
- your microphone and webcam, the ones you chose in the extension;
- the picture of the people you talk to, as the call receives it, each in a file of its own.
It does not keep the picture of the tab: neither Meet’s interface nor the names written on the tiles. A short never shows a shared screen.
The recording goes to Dailies Studio as the call goes on, in five-minute pieces, without being written to your disk. It stops when you leave the call or close the tab: whatever you open next in that tab is never recorded.
How do you start recording a Meet call?
In one of two ways.
With a click. Once in the call, you click the Dailies Studio icon in Chrome and start the recording.
Automatically. In the extension, a switch turns on automatic recording. Chrome then asks you for access to the Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom sites. On Google Meet, recording then starts on its own as soon as someone joins you in the call, never while you wait alone, and stops when the call ends. The Dailies Studio window opens to tell you so, and its icon shows “REC” for the whole call.
Recording without a click is specific to Google Meet. On Microsoft Teams and Zoom, the option comes down to one click on the icon, with no other step.
Automatic or not, one thing does not change: Dailies Studio records from your browser, not with Google Meet’s own recorder. Meet therefore shows no notice of its own, and a missing banner is no agreement: it is up to you to tell your guests.
What should you do before the call?
- Open Meet in Chrome, on a computer. Chrome is among the browsers Google recommends for Meet, according to its access requirements page. The app on a phone does not go through the extension.
- Check your microphone and webcam in the extension: they make the sound and picture of your shorts. We give a few simple settings in How to look good on video calls.
- Tell your guests the call is being recorded, and why. One sentence at the start is enough; we have written which one.
- Hold your call in English or French, the two languages Dailies Studio handles, including when you switch from one to the other.
A call under five minutes is not turned into shorts: it holds too little material.
What do you get after the call?
A few minutes after you hang up, you find in Dailies Studio:
- up to eight shorts of 30 to 90 seconds, chosen among the passages that share real value;
- a vertical 9:16 frame on whoever is speaking: you when you answer, filmed by your webcam;
- silences and hesitations cut, and captions in one of the Dailies Studio templates or in your brand style;
- a post drafted for each network, which you keep, edit or delete.
You can fix a word in the captions or cut a sentence from the short’s script. Then you schedule the ones you want, on the day and at the time you choose, and Dailies Studio publishes them.
Dailies Studio publishes to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn and TikTok. Vertical 9:16 is the format of all these networks; we cover its rules.
And your guests, in the shorts?
A short shows you first. When your guest speaks, they may appear, from the picture the call receives of them. Two safeguards are on from the moment your account is created:
- a switch blurs your guests and disguises their voices, in all your shorts;
- people’s names said aloud are bleeped, in the sound and in the captions.
And the rule stays the same: a short that shows your guest, lets them be heard or quotes them is posted only with their agreement, obtained beforehand.
Which Google Meet calls should you record?
The ones where you answer questions: discovery calls, advisory or coaching sessions, Q&A sessions. Those are the ones that give passages that make sense on their own; we describe which ones to keep.
Leave out negotiations, job interviews, health consultations and any call under professional secrecy.
