Google is making it easier to search for Google Meet content in Google Drive.
Users can now use app:”Google Meet” to find and organise Meet content in Drive such as meeting recordings, chat transcripts, attendance reports, polls or question and answer reports, meeting transcripts and meeting notes created in Google Calendar.
“We hope this update makes it easier for you to quickly and efficiently find files related to Meet events in Drive. For example, you can search for Meet transcripts by the words they contain instead of their file format, Meet videos based on what folders they may be in (such as My Drive), or Meet recordings based on the date they were recorded,” it said in a blog post.
