"Google Meet currently doesn't allow meeting participants to download or copy video recordings by default. For any meeting owners who don't want viewers to download the meeting recordings, the current default behavior perfectly aligns with your needs."
"Google will change the default for video recordings, requiring meeting owners to manually restrict the download of meeting recordings. This change will only impact new recordings and not the existing ones."
"When you restrict downloads of meeting recordings, it will also restrict Ask Gemini for viewers, just like in the current scenario. The Ask Gemini functionality will be available only after owners allow downloads."
"Google has no plans to make this change with immediate effect. In its official Workspace Updates, it confirmed that the change in default for meeting recordings will start rolling out on April 30, 2026."
Google Meet, a leading video communication service, will change its default settings for video recording downloads. Currently, participants cannot download or copy recordings by default. The upcoming change will require meeting owners to manually restrict downloads for new recordings. This adjustment will not affect existing recordings. The rollout is scheduled to begin on April 30, 2026, and will take up to 15 days to be fully implemented. Owners must uncheck the option in the Admin console to prevent downloads and copying.
