Try Tactiq AI meeting tools for free in your next meeting

Need to bill a client, check meeting durations, or confirm who showed up?

Accessing your Google Meet history helps you track dates, times, attendees, and call length. But finding this info isn't always easy.

Unless everything's in one place, you'll waste time scrolling through calendar invites. Plus, those don't show who actually joined or how long meetings lasted.

This guide covers how to see your Google Meet call history on any device, who has access to this feature, and how to use AI tools and Google Meet extensions to organize and search your meeting records more easily.

Who Can Access the Google Meet History Feature

As of 2025, all Google users, including those with free personal accounts, can access Google Meet history. You no longer need to be a Google Workspace admin to access this information.

If you're using a Google Workspace account, your organization’s admin may also have access to broader Meet data through the admin console. Personal accounts, on the other hand, can only view their own meeting history.
