How to Turn a Google Meet Recording into Instagram Reels Clips

1. Download Your Google Meet Recording

After your Google Meet ends, the recording is saved to Google Drive (in the Meet Recordings folder). Download the MP4 file to your phone or computer. Always ensure you have consent from all participants before sharing any video excerpts.

2. Prepare the Video for Instagram Reels

• Instagram Reels specs (as of August 2026): 9:16 vertical aspect ratio, 1080x1920 pixels (standard), up to 20 minutes via the Instagram camera (3 minutes in-app upload limit).
• Google Meet recordings are typically in 16:9 landscape (horizontal). For Reels, you’ll need to crop to a vertical frame, ideally focusing on the main speaker.

3. Use Vidulk’s AI Clipper to Automate the Process

• Download Vidulk (iOS or Android) and open the app.
• Import your downloaded Google Meet MP4.
• Vidulk’s AI analyzes the video, finds the most engaging moments, and automatically generates short, vertical clips sized for Instagram Reels.
• The app auto-crops to focus on the speaker and adds hardcoded captions for accessibility and engagement.
• Review, trim, and export your clips as needed. The exported videos are formatted for Instagram Reels’ requirements.

4. Upload to Instagram Reels

• Transfer the final clips to your phone if needed.
• Open Instagram, tap the Reels tab, and upload your new vertical clips.
• You can use Instagram’s in-app features to add stickers, music, or further adjust auto-captions if you want.

5. Tips for Best Results

• Always check that your clips are within Instagram’s time limits (3 minutes for in-app uploads, up to 20 minutes if recorded in the Reels camera).
• Preview your captions for accuracy. Instagram also allows you to add or edit captions using the Captions sticker.
• For best quality, keep your exports at 1080x1920 or higher (up to 1440x2560 if your source allows).
