How to Turn Google Meet Recordings into Facebook Reels Clips
To convert a Google Meet recording into short, vertical Facebook Reels clips, you need to crop, caption, and resize the video to fit Reels specs. Vidulk's AI Clipper automates this process from start to finish.

Step 1: Download Your Google Meet Recording
After your Google Meet session, the recording is saved to Google Drive in a widescreen (16:9) format, usually showing a gallery or speaker view. Download the video file (typically MP4) to your device. Ensure you have consent from all participants before sharing any clips.
Step 2: Understand Facebook Reels Specs (As of August 2026)
- Aspect Ratio: 9:16 vertical is recommended for full-screen viewing. Facebook now accepts any format, but vertical looks best.
- Resolution: 1440x2560 pixels (recommended), 1080x1920 also works.
- Length: No max length or format restrictions since June 2025, but short clips (15-60 seconds) usually perform better.
- Captions: Optional but recommended. Facebook Reels ads do not support auto-captioning, so add captions manually or with a tool.
Step 3: Use Vidulk to Automate Clipping, Cropping, and Captioning
Vidulk (free to start, available for iOS and Android) streamlines the process:
- Upload or paste your Google Meet video into the Vidulk app.

Step 4: Review and Upload to Facebook Reels

- For best results, keep clips focused, visually clear, and captioned to maximize engagement.
