How to add captions to google meet recording
- 1
Download your Google Meet recording from Google Drive
Google Meet saves recordings automatically to the host's Google Drive. Open the file in Drive, click the three-dot menu, and choose Download to save the MP4 to your computer. Once downloaded, drag the file onto the CentClip upload area or click to browse - your first 5 minutes are free with no account needed.

Review and edit the auto-generated captions
CentClip transcribes your meeting audio and displays every caption line in a side-by-side editor. Click any segment to fix a speaker name, correct an acronym, or adjust timing. Meeting recordings often include crosstalk and domain-specific terms, so a quick pass through the editor ensures the captions read clearly for every viewer.

Export your captioned recording or subtitle file
Choose to burn captions directly into the video as an MP4 - ideal for sharing a self-contained recording that plays with captions on any device. Or download an SRT or VTT file to attach as a subtitle track, or grab a plain text transcript for meeting notes. You pay only for the minutes processed, with no subscription required.
Why choose CentClip for Google Meet?
Meeting recordings shared async are watched on mute - captions make them usable
When a Google Meet recording is shared via Drive link, most recipients watch it in a browser tab while multitasking - often with sound off or in a noisy environment. Without captions, those viewers skim past or miss key decisions entirely. Burned-in captions turn a passive share into a communication that actually lands, and CentClip produces tightly timed blocks suited to the fast-paced back-and-forth of a meeting.
Pay per recording, not per month - meetings don't happen on a fixed schedule
A $20-30/month captioning subscription is hard to justify when you only need captions for a handful of recordings a quarter. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no monthly fee and no credits that reset or expire. Caption a 45-minute all-hands for $2.25, then come back three months later without paying for idle time. Credits you buy today are still valid the next time you need them.
Captions make Google Meet recordings accessible and searchable for your whole team
Captions are a legal accessibility requirement in many education and enterprise contexts, and they also make recordings far more useful - viewers can scan the transcript to find the moment a decision was made without scrubbing through an hour of video. CentClip supports over 50 languages, so meetings conducted in French, Spanish, German, or Portuguese get the same accurate captions at the same 5-cent rate as English recordings.
FAQ
How accurate are CentClip captions for Google Meet recordings with multiple speakers?
Accuracy is high for recordings with clear audio and minimal background noise. Meetings with heavy crosstalk or domain-specific jargon may need a few corrections, and the built-in caption editor makes those fixes quick and straightforward.

Yes - your first 5 minutes are free with no account or credit card required. After that, captions cost 5 cents per minute with no subscription and no minimum purchase.
What format does Google Meet record in, and does CentClip support it?
Google Meet saves recordings as MP4 files in Google Drive. CentClip accepts MP4 directly, so you can download the recording from Drive and upload it to CentClip without any conversion step.
Do CentClip credits expire if I only occasionally caption meeting recordings?
No - CentClip credits never expire. Buy them when you have a recording to caption and use them at any pace, with no monthly billing cycle and no subscription to cancel.
