== Record Meetings ==
Recording a meeting will save the video and chat records of the recorded meeting segment. Recording will not happen by default, so make sure to record a meeting at the beginning if you know you need to do it. If you are the '''''Meeting Host''''' then you are able to record the meeting. The recorded video and chat files will be saved in your Riverdale Google Drive account in the '''''Meet Recording''''' folder.
