As COVID-19 has spread like wildfire, most enterprises have made use of online video conferencing to reduce the possibility of spreading the virus among staff members. The measure allows not only real-time, face-to-face meetings but also synchronous recordings of content. It ensures smooth communication without blunders among colleagues.

In spite of the pandemic, the team of Google solutions strive to maintain the connections among executives, other staff and clients via G Suite.

Step-by-step instructions
How do G Suite clients use the enterprise version of the business video conferencing system?
The default settings of advanced video conferencing functions are disabled in the business version. The advanced Hangouts Meet functions have to be enabled by an enterprise’s backstage manager. The steps to achieve such settings are outlined as follows:
1.Get into the manager’s back office and select Applications > G Suite > select Google Meet
2.Select Meet settings
3.In the same window, enable Streaming and Recording functions and then save the settings.
After the manager changes the settings, the users can make audiovisual recordings of conferences in Google Meet. The steps to record are outlined as follows:
1.Start a video conference > select More > Record the conference
2.The system makes a recording file and saves it in ‘My Cloud drive’ > ‘Recorded Meet content’. The conference host and the recording user will receive an email containing a link to the recorded content.
Things to note:
? It takes at least 10 minutes to change the format of recordings.
? The recording function is only available in the computer version. Mobile app users will be notified when the recording starts or ends but will not be able to control the recording function.
? The recorded video files take up space in the client’s Cloud hard drive.
