| The verdict | Google's video conferencing tool, with cloud recording on paid Workspace tiers, sometimes used out of pure convenience for quick interviews. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Podcasters already inside the Google Workspace ecosystem who want a familiar, no extra cost way to record a casual conversation. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone needing separated tracks or high production audio, Meet's recording is a single combined video file. |
| The gotcha | Recording isn't available on personal Google accounts, you need a business or education Workspace plan with the feature enabled. |
