How to Record a Class Session
and Share the Recorded Video with Students
Using Google Meet
Step 1: Setup a Google Meet Session through Your PSC Gmail/Google Calendar
Login to your PSC Google email.
Click on the Google Apps icon, and select Calendar.
Or, go directly to https://Calendar.Google.com.
On the calendar, find the day and time period for the course and create a new event by select the time period. A box for event information will popup.
Click “Add title” to add the Course Title.
Click on the date, and change “does not repeat” to setup a recurring meeting for your class session. (You may need to use the custom option.)
Click the blue button to “Add Google Meet video conferencing” to generate a link for the video session.
Copy or write down the link (meet.google……) so you can share it with your students.
Click "Save."
Share the link with your students by emailing it to them or by posting it on D2L (as an announcement or a link in a module).
Step 2: Join the Google Meet Session and Record the Video
When it’s time for your live session, click on the link for the Google Meet, and Join the meeting.
To record, click on the three buttons on the bottom right, and select "Record Meeting."
When the session is done, click the three buttons on the right again, and click "Stop Recording."
The video will be saved automatically on your Google Drive account in a folder called "Meet Recordings."
Step 3: Share the Video Recording with Students
When your recorded video is ready, go to your PSC Google Drive account, enter the folder called Meet Recordings, and locate the video recording from your session.
Right click on the video and select “Get Link.”
Select “Copy Link.” You may also need to change the permissions on the video from "Restricted" to "Anyone with the link."
Share this link with your students by emailing it to them or by post it on D2L. You could also embed the video in a Content Page on D2L.
