If I record during Google Meet meeting, two files are created in Google Drive – one containing the video, the other one containing transcript of chat. Is it possible to record in a such way that only the chat transcript is saved? (Of course, I can simply delete the video file – however waiting until this large file created just to delete it and keep the much smaller file seems kind of redundant.)

I found a way that uses the UI of Google Chat and that is to use the Search feature.
So here are the steps:
- Click the magnifying glass to enter the search feature
Enter something (relatively) unique from the conversation to search for
if necessary briefly leave a rather unique message which you can later remove, just to have a unique text to search for
- Find your conversation in the list of hits and click the "Go to conversation" link
- Notice that the URL in the address now points directly to that conversation
- Copy and paste the URL where you need it
- go to https://bitly.com/
- create a free account
- click on that orange button CREATE
- select BITLINK
- paste your meeting URL
- customize it as you wish (example:
bit.ly/lets-meet-now) - click on SAVE button

Unfortunately Google doesn't support this. I wanted to do the same but the answer I got from google was that they don't support saving the chat transcript.
