Recordings, Meet Artifacts

"Artifact" is Google Meet's term for recordings, transcripts, Q&A, attendance lists, and any other materials generated in a meeting. 

• Open Meet artifacts
• Meet recordings are automatically stored in your Google Drive, so you may want to clean out that folder periodically, BUT don't delete them until you have it saved somewhere!

To begin recording:

• join the meeting
• click the 3 hamburger dots to view options
• select "Manage Recording." You will have the option to autogenerate captions and a transcript. Check the boxes for your preference, then click the blue "Start recording" button.

Viewing recordings and making recordings available: 

• after you end the meeting, Google Meet will process the recording
• Google will send you an email once the recording is ready 
• you can also find recordings by navigating to the "Google Meet (LTI 1.3)" page in your course and clicking the "Meet artifacts" tab
• to make recordings and other artifacts available to students, toggle the button that says "Share recordings with students" under the "Meet artifacts" tab

Sharing a Presentation

Sharing Google Slides presentations in Meet is very easy. 

• Google: Share a presentation

To share a PowerPoint or another, non-Google presentation, it's helpful to enable picture-in-picture mode so you can see both Meet and your slides in presenter mode.

• Google: Use picture-in-picture with Google Meet
• To share your presentation:

1. open your Google Meet meeting
2. enable picture-in-picture mode if it is not enabled
3. open your presentation and open presenter mode
4. go back to Google Meet and expand the picture-in-picture view to use the Meet tools like annotations. You will still have to switch back to presentation to advance the slides.

How to Use ScreenRec: 

• Download ScreenRec here.
• Once Installed, open ScreenRec (you will know the app is open when you see the buttons on right side of screen, as shown in screenshot):

How to Record Screen:

• Press the second button on the ScreenRec layout to start recording.

• Once you press this button, it should tell you to click and drag what you want recorded on the screen. This way you are able to choose exactly what you want to be recorded and the dimensions in which it will record.
• Once you do that, it will give you a 3-second countdown and then it will start recording.
• Make sure that you hit the square "stop" button when you are finished recording (below, far left button).

• Finally, after the recording has stopped, press the save recording button as shown below (highlighted in red). Once that is pressed, you can save the recording anywhere on your computer (make sure that you can find it easily).
