Record a meeting
How to record a video meeting responsibly
Record a Meeto browser call when the team needs a replay, lesson or support handoff. Host on Pro or Team, explain capture before it starts, review the result and keep the recording only as long as it is useful.

Record a browser meeting in five steps
Check the plan
Recording is available to Pro and Team hosts. Guests join without an account, and the recording belongs to the host's account.
Explain the purpose
Tell participants what will be captured, why you need it, who will receive it and when you plan to delete it. Obtain the consent your meeting requires before starting.
Start capture
Choose recording from the meeting controls. Everyone in the call is shown a notice when it starts, and the recording indicator stays visible while it runs.
Stop at the right point
End the recording when the useful material is complete. If a long session still needs more time, use the extension control that appears near the recording's deadline.
Review before sharing
Wait for processing, open the material in the owner account, check that it contains the intended section and share it only with people who should have access. Delete it when it is no longer needed, following your own retention policy as well as Meeto's default expiry.
Guests join any call without an account, and recording comes with the host's Pro or Team plan. See the privacy guide before recording clients, students or interviews.

A short consent and access checklist
Before capture
Tell people the purpose, what will be saved, who can see it and how to ask questions. Check the laws and organisational rules that apply to your meeting.
During capture
Keep the visible indicator on and stop if the conversation changes to material that should not be recorded. Do not silently restart capture after a stop.
After capture
Review the result, restrict the share link and delete the recording when the stated purpose ends. A transcript or recap may need a separate deletion check.
Meeto provides the capture controls; whether a particular recording is lawful depends on the rules that apply to your meeting. Read the recording and consent terms and ask your organisation or legal adviser when the situation is unclear.
Frequently asked questions
Which plan do I need to record a Meeto meeting?
Pro or Team. Pro and Team hosts start an opt-in recording from the meeting controls, and guests join the call free, without an account.
Do participants see when recording starts?
Yes. Recording is opt-in and Meeto shows a visible recording indicator while capture is active. The host is responsible for explaining the capture and obtaining any consent required by applicable law.
How long does Meeto keep a recording?
The current default recording retention is 90 days, and the owner can delete the recording sooner. Transcripts or AI recaps can have separate retention behavior, so review each material type before relying on deletion of the video alone.
What happens when a long recording reaches its capture deadline?
A recording starts with a 4-hour capture deadline. If it is still active during the final 10 minutes, the host can request one 4-hour extension when the control is offered.
