## Google Meet

Through Google for Nonprofits, CorrelAid has access to premium Google Meet features. Those include up to 100 participants, breakout rooms, whiteboards, and many more. [See here](https://www.google.com/nonprofits/workspace/compare/) for an overview. If you need to record a meeting (e.g. a meetup), you need to use Zoom instead.

If you have a [Google Workspace](https://docs.correlaid.org/~/revisions/hfepfFy5E9C1WpLCChmV/wiki/infrastructure/google-workspace) account, you can create Meets by going to <https://meet.google.com>. Alternatively, you can directly add Google Meets to calendar events you create in your personal [CorrelAid calendar](https://docs.correlaid.org/~/revisions/hfepfFy5E9C1WpLCChmV/wiki/google-workspace#personal-calendar).

## Zoom

CorrelAid has Zoom pro licenses. If you want to have a link for an event, please contact our [community management](mailto:community@correlaid.org).

### Recording a Zoom event

Sometimes, you might want to record a Zoom event. Here are our recommendations to keep the identities of the participants out of the recording:

* the speaker should share their screen
* host: switch to speaker view (**not** gallery)
* host: use the **spotlight** feature to spotlight the speaker and the moderator (typically the host functions as the moderator)
* with this setup...
  * participants can ask questions without appearing in the recording
  * the host can have the chat open overlaying the zoom recording -> this is independent of the recording feature
