How To Record Google Hangouts: Google Hangouts is a tool that teams or companies can use to connect with each other through text chats and video meetings. And if you want to share important information, having a recording of the meeting can be a useful tool.
When you record a Google Hangouts meeting, you can share it with people who can’t be there at the time. Once it’s been recorded, you can send a link to those who couldn’t make it to the meeting. This way, everyone will know what’s going on.
Before you get started, you should know that you can only record a Google Hangout with the paid subscription services G Suite Enterprise and G Suite Enterprise Education.

Benefits of Google Hangouts
Google Workspace Integration
Google Hangouts works well with other Google Workspace apps, just like other Google products. People who already use other Google apps will get a lot out of this. With Google Voice, users can pull contacts from Google Contacts and add a phone number. These integrations can save you time and make Google Hangouts feel more familiar to people who already use Google.
Contacting Options
Google Hangouts also has instant messaging, voice calling, and video calling as ways to get in touch. It’s important to have different ways to get in touch, since video calling isn’t always the best option. You can use chat for quick questions and calls for longer conversations. There’s also an option that combines video calls and chats.
Ease of Use
Google Hangouts is easy to use for anyone who knows a little bit about technology. When you want to chat with someone, just type their name or email address into the search bar and send them an invitation.
