What Google Meet Recorder does
Google Meet Recorder adds a toolbar button that starts and stops recording a Google Meet call. When you stop the recording, the extension lets you download the file directly to your device for later use, without needing to enable any special settings in Google Meet or Google Workspace.
Google Meet Recorder permissions
The extension asks for permissions including tabs, desktop capture, scripting, notifications, storage, and downloads, plus access to meet.google.com and Google's API domains. Desktop capture is what lets it record the meeting screen and audio, while the downloads permission is what saves the finished recording to your device.
Is Google Meet Recorder safe?
Because it captures your screen and audio during a call, it needs consent-based desktop capture access, and it's your responsibility to get agreement from other meeting participants before recording. It only activates on Google Meet pages rather than requesting access to all websites.
