Editing And Deleting Your Google Meet Calls
Google Meet recordings themselves aren't directly editable within the platform. However, there are several reasons why you might want to manage your Google Meet meeting history. Perhaps you need to declutter your storage and remove unnecessary calls to free up space. Maybe you captured a lengthy meeting and want to extract a specific segment for focused sharing with colleagues.
In some cases, there might be sections of recorded meetings containing sensitive information that need to be removed before distributing the recording. Understanding how and when to leverage external editing tools or delete Google Meet calls empowers you to take control of your meeting content. This includes optimizing storage space and ensuring the information you share aligns with your needs.
